Real Love is about Respect.
Love is not about pain, pressure or control.

For your thoughts- Does this relationship feel safe? Does it feel honest? Are we equal partners that appreciate each others perspectives and communicate in a loving way?

El amor real se trata de respeto. El amor no se trata de dolor, presión o control. Para que lo pienses: ¿Se siente segura esta relación? ¿Se siente honesta? ¿Somos socios iguales que aprecian las perspectivas del otro y se comunican de una manera amorosa?"
