9. Don’t expect another person to “complete you.”
It’s a romantic notion to think someone else could be the other half of our soul, but it’s actually a warped view of relationships which cultivates co-dependency. Love each other, support each other, serve each other, and bring out the best in each other, but don’t try to “complete” each other.
10. Love is a commitment, not a fickle feeling.
