Love or respect: what is more important?

Mutual respect is a problem for many couples. And it is no coincidence: without it there is no love. Moreover, some psychologists seriously believe that respect is much more important. You can love someone you deeply respect. But a total lack of respect undermines the Foundation of any relationship.

So what is respect?
It is usually assumed that someone causes us admiration. We think highly of these people. This does not mean that we idealize them: sometimes they make mistakes and say stupid things. But small shortcomings do not prevent us from seeing their bright sides.

In many spiritual traditions, all living creatures are revered. That is, in a broad sense, it is not necessary to love to respect. We choose to treat everyone with respect, regardless of personal perception. I think this is the point of view to be followed in a relationship.

Dillon and Gaila believed that respect must be earned, you can not respect someone just like that. I tried to explain to them that here everything is as in love: it is best when it is mutual, familiar and, if possible, unconditional. If you don't respect each other, stop arguing about it. Talk about it.
