Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again

About This Quote

In the world of relationships, it’s not enough to love your partner. There also needs to be patience with them when they make mistakes, and when they make them repeatedly. It’s when people are in their second or third relationship that they start to feel like it’s not worth the effort. But you need to remember that when you’re in a relationship with someone you don’t fall into that trap.

You continue to give all the love and care that you can muster no matter what. And, in return, you hope that in turn they will do the same for you.
