Love each other or perish.

Is there some kind of rule to know if a relationship is going to work?

Things are not that simple.

There are a few rules I know to be true about love:

If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.

If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.

If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.

And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.

Your values must be alike.

And the biggest one of those values; your belief in the importance of your relationship and love.

Love each other or perish.
