Healthy and Mature Relationships

I am convinced that healthy and mature relationships, which have the potential to be the last in the lives of two people, are only those relationships where both understand that they need to behave normally here and now and do not think that just because they are loved, they will be forgiven anyway. When they understand that they should listen to requests the first time and not be like a schoolboy who constantly needs to be taken to the principal to be taught some sense. You cannot instill sense in anyone, prove, show, or explain anything. Love is not suffering, not a test of the other's endurance, not a daily 'wear-and-tear,' but an exceptional, mature, and strong bond between two people who respect each other.
