Showing devotion to your partner is obviously an important core value. It’s not enough to be there for them when everything is going swimmingly; the couple need to overcome the challenges that life throws at them together. You aren’t expected to agree with your significant other 100% of the time, but you still need to put up a united front when dealing with outside conflicts.
5. Reciprocity
In any situation — whether it is friendship, your job, or an experience — you get out of it what you put into it. This is just as true when it comes to relationships. If there is a selfish partner who is always receiving but is never (or rarely) giving, it leaves the other partner feeling unfulfilled. When a significant other demands to be the center of attention and never allows their partner to be heard, tensions are bound to boil over and the relationship will be jeopardized.
