I've quit smoking, quit weed, quit monster and I'm going to be quitting shooting because I want my baby to develop healthy, and I still have to worry because of my BPD so sorry if I take it as a little bit of a slap to the face because it kinda was
I'm not mad because I do still think you're cool but before you say shit like this, you should think about the stuff parents go through for their children, and how you just tried to delegitamize the whole thing
Always being open about everything. If you make a mistake, it's better to admit it early before it grows into a real problem.
Empathy, try to see how your significant other sees things
Mercy, whether you're together for 40 minutes or 40 years, mistakes can happen anytime, so you have to learn to be firm but fair
Balance ,understanding , forgiveness ,Care also but not too much stuck and respect
and if couple removes the ego between each other ,i guess their life will be good.
Compromise

True love

Understanding and communication
Many other things make a solid foundation for marriage though.
