We never want to be taken for granted, but our partners should be able to expect our honest loyalty. That is a powerfully strong foundation block for a relationship. I want to meet the greatest expectations, without being the greatest fraud.

About This Quote

When it comes to describing loyalty in relationships, some people tend to focus on faithfulness. This is an area that many people struggle with. But, what about expectations? Loyalty is something that plays a huge role in this aspect. It’s not only important to trust your partner, but you should also be able to expect their loyalty. If your partner can’t commit 100% of their time to you, then they are not the person you want.
