That word is "heart."
The heart is the birthplace of emotion, the source of love and care. The relationship between lovers, if there is a heart, can be maintained for a long time; If you are absent-minded, then the relationship may be fleeting.
When two hearts are sincerely close to each other, understanding, tolerance and respect for each other, the relationship can last for a long time in the long river of time. A lover with a heart will listen to each other's hearts attentively, even if it is a trivial complaint or joy, it can be keenly captured. They will give a warm hug when the other person is tired, wise advice when confused, and share that joy when they are happy. Because there is love in the heart, you are willing to put in the time and energy to manage the relationship, to understand the other person's preferences, dreams and fears, to become a safe haven for the other person's heart.
However, if the "heart" between lovers is lost, the relationship will quickly wither. If one or both parties begin to perfunctory and ignore, no longer feel each other's needs with their hearts, and are no longer willing to work hard for each other, then the once strong affection and sweetness will gradually be exhausted. Maybe it's because of the temptation of the outside world, maybe it's because of my own exhaustion, when the enthusiasm in my heart cools, the relationship will come to an end.
Lovers will inevitably encounter difficulties and setbacks when they get along. Those who have a heart will see these challenges as an opportunity to deepen their relationship. They will face it together, overcome it hand in hand, and bring their hearts closer in the wind and rain. And those who have no heart will only choose to escape or blame in the face of difficulties, so that each other's hearts will gradually drift apart.
A truly long-lasting relationship doesn't just rely on passion and romance. Eventually, the passion will fade and the romance will fade. But as long as you have a heart, you can find each other's shining points in ordinary days and create warm moments in trivial life. A concerned look, an intimate companionship, and an affectionate confession are all the embodiment of intentions.
On the contrary, if the heart is no longer there, no amount of material giving and superficial hospitality can fill the void of feelings. Without heart-to-heart communication, love words will sound empty and boring; Without heart commitment, shared experiences can become meaningless.
Therefore, the length of the relationship between lovers does not depend on the length of time, nor on the amount of material, but on whether there is a heart. As long as you have a heart, no matter how many ups and downs you go through, your feelings can be as solid as a rock; Once the heart is absent-minded, no matter how good the start is, it can only end in regret.
May every pair of lovers be able to protect each other's feelings with their hearts, so that love will last forever in their hearts and love will last forever in the years.
