The 5 'Don'ts' Law for Preserving Love

Just follow these 5 "don'ts," and your love will surely blossom.

Loving someone is difficult enough, but maintaining that love over the years is infinitely more challenging. However, difficult doesn't mean impossible. If we can put ourselves in each other's shoes and understand each other's perspectives, then everything will work out. Don't worry!

Here are five "don'ts" that you should memorize to strengthen your relationship:

1. Avoid bringing up the past.

What can be forgiven should absolutely be forgiven. Once two people have agreed to forgive and be tolerant of each other, they should also agree never to bring up the past to criticize the other person. This is considered a cardinal sin in a relationship.

Bringing up the past means we're not truly forgiving of the other person's mistakes, and they'll think you don't respect them or love them anymore.

2. Do not lie, do not exaggerate.

In love, trust is the most important thing, like the deepest roots that grow in the soil to nourish a tree. That's why there's a saying, "Once trust is broken, it's broken forever."

If you're in love, you should place complete trust in each other. This also means you have to prove to your partner that you are a trustworthy person, someone who deserves no doubt whatsoever.

3. Don't try to change the other person.

We love each other to complement and enhance each other, not to try to love a perfect copy of ourselves. Two different, opposing personalities are more attractive to each other than identical personalities.

Furthermore, remember why you love that person. If they change to suit your preferences and opinions, will you still find them lovable in your eyes?

4. Don't treat the other person as something to possess.

Love is selfish, it's possessive, that's true. But too much of anything is not good. We should only express our feelings by caring for each other, not by obliging to "track" each other's whereabouts all the time.

Give your love some space to "breathe" before your excessive control and possessiveness suffocate it.

5. Don't let the other person feel inferior.

Many people probably don't pay much attention to this. Sometimes we just joke about someone's flaws for fun. But it's very possible that behind those jokes, you've hurt them to some extent.

Because they think you're not really happy with them, they'll start to think that you'll get bored with them and leave them at any time... In a relationship, if one of the two people feels insecure and uncomfortable around the other, then that's a failed relationship.
