Essence of love

The "Essence of Love" is also the key to a long lasting relationship.

Being true to someone in a relationship when times are bad, and not just good. Real love and relationships are built on how you deal with bad times. Some people divorce, others just break up, separate.

I'm not saying stick around if you're being physically or mentally abused on a regular basis - I'm talking about the major illness, bad financial problems, stuff like that.

Anything else is just normal life.
