Building a Strong and Lasting Relationship: The 3 Pillars of Love
Dear Reader,
Love is a beautiful feeling that can keep us up all night and make everything brighter. It’s what motivates us, inspires us, and pushes us to be better.
However, we all know that love is not all roses and sunshine. Building a lasting, loyal, and passionate relationship takes a lot of hard work, commitment, and dedication.
In this article, we will explore the 3 pillars of love that can help you build a strong and lasting relationship with your partner. The Foundation of Love: The 3 Pillars of Love
When we hear the word “love,” we usually think of a feeling of deep affection and attraction towards someone.
However, love is more than just a feeling. It is also a commitment, a loyalty, and a promise to care for someone.
Therefore, building a lasting relationship requires a strong foundation that is built on the following three pillars of love:
-
Intimate Connection
Intimate connection is the first pillar of love, and it involves acceptance, vulnerability, true self, openness, and reciprocation.
In other words, intimate connection means being able to know each other fully, accept each other’s flaws, appreciate each other’s strengths, and be open with each other about your feelings, thoughts, and desires. Intimate connection is the key to building trust, understanding, and respect in a relationship.
-
Sexual Attraction
Sexual attraction is the second pillar of love, and it involves sexual tension, distance, familiarity, respect, and ambition.
In other words, sexual attraction is the feeling of desire and passion that draws two people together. Sexual attraction is important because it ignites the spark of romance and keeps the relationship exciting and fresh.
However, sexual attraction alone is not enough to build a lasting relationship. It needs to be balanced with the other pillars of love.
-
Consistency
Consistency is the third pillar of love, and it involves the mere-exposure effect, trust, promises, safety, and rock.
In other words, consistency means being there for each other no matter what and keeping the promises you make. Consistency is important because it builds a sense of safety and security in the relationship.
When we know that our partner will always be there for us, we feel more comfortable being vulnerable and open.
The Importance of Intimate Connection
Intimate connection is the foundation of any strong and lasting relationship. It means knowing your partner fully, being able to accept them for who they are, and being open and vulnerable with them.
Intimacy creates a safe space for both partners to express themselves fully, without fear of judgment or rejection. It’s important to note that intimacy is not just about physical or sexual connection.
It’s also about emotional connection. Intimacy requires a deep level of trust and respect between partners, which is built over time through consistent communication, mutual support, and emotional validation.
The Limitations of Sexual Desire Alone
While sexual desire is important in any romantic relationship, it’s important to recognize that it’s not enough to sustain a long-lasting connection. Puppy love, or the initial infatuation phase, can fade over time, leaving partners feeling disconnected and unfulfilled.
This is why it’s important to focus on building intimacy and emotional connection as well.
The Role of Intimate Connection in Long-Lasting Relationships
Intimate connection is the glue that holds a relationship together long-term. When partners feel emotionally connected to each other, they are more likely to weather the storms of life together and remain committed to each other.
Intimate connection requires knowing each other fully, accepting each other’s flaws, appreciating each other’s strengths, and being open with each other about your feelings, thoughts, and desires. When partners can be vulnerable and open with each other, they build trust, understanding, and respect.
The Dangers of Superficiality in Relationships
Unfortunately, many people focus too much on the superficial aspects of a relationship, such as impressing their partner with gifts or possessions, or trying to remain on a superficial level. While these things may be nice in the short term, they do not contribute to building a strong and lasting relationship.
In fact, they can be detrimental to the connection between partners.
The Importance of Vulnerability
In order to build intimate connection, it’s important to be vulnerable with your partner. This means being comfortable expressing your true personality, being open about your feelings, and expressing yourself without fear of judgment or rejection.
Being vulnerable takes courage, but it’s the foundation for total openness. When both partners can be vulnerable with each other, they create a safe space for intimacy and emotional connection to grow.
Conclusion
In conclusion, building a strong and lasting relationship takes hard work, dedication, and commitment. The three pillars of love- intimate connection, sexual attraction, and consistency- form the foundation of any healthy and happy relationship.
By focusing on building intimate connection and emotional intimacy, we can create a relationship that is not only strong and lasting but also fulfilling and rewarding. Remember, love is not just a feeling, it’s a promise, a commitment, and a loyalty to care for someone.
By keeping these three pillars of love in mind, you can build a relationship that lasts a lifetime. Thank you for reading,

The Two Sides of a Coin:
The Power of Sexual Attraction and the
Consistency in Relationships
Dear Reader,
In our previous article, we talked about the 3 pillars of love that are essential for a lasting and loving relationship.
In this article, we will delve deeper into two of these pillars- the power of sexual attraction and consistency in relationships. These two may seem like complete opposites at first glance, but they work hand in hand to create a satisfying relationship experience.
The Power of Sexual Attraction
Sexual attraction is a crucial component of any romantic relationship. It is the spark that ignites between two individuals, creating the possibility of a deep and fulfilling connection.
However, there is a common misconception that being a “nice guy” and doing everything to please your partner is the key to creating a strong and lasting relationship. But more often than not, this approach backfires, leading to heartbreak and confusion.
Friendship vs. Romantic Relationship
There is a delicate balance to strike between being too nice and being assertive.
Though it may seem like a fine line to balance, it’s the difference between friendships and romantic relationships. Friendship is about sharing common interests and supporting each other, while a romantic relationship is about pushing boundaries and challenging each other in different ways.
The Flaws in the Nice Guy Strategy
The problem with trying to be overly nice is that it can create a sense of pressure on your partner. Your partner may feel like they have to reciprocate your affections, creating confusion about their feelings.
It’s also easy to be misunderstood when you are always nice, as your partner may mistake your actions for simple friendliness.
Creating Sexual Tension
To create sexual tension, you need to learn how to balance being nice and being assertive. One way to do that is by creating sexual tension.
Sexual tension is the feeling of attraction and desire between two individuals that creates a sense of anticipation and excitement. It is not just about physical attraction but engaging in activities that create emotional intimacy.
Creating sexual tension can be achieved through eye contact, voice tonality, and body language. By enhancing these elements, you can create a sense of mystery and allure, making your partner curious and interested in getting to know you even more.
Keeping Spark Alive in Relationship
Once the attraction is established, the next step is to maintain the spark in the relationship. One of the reasons relationships fizzle out is that people slip into routine, and the novelty wears off.
To avoid that, it’s important to think of ways to keep your partner interested and invested in the relationship. Distance is also an excellent way to maintain the spark in the relationship.
While some couples may think that being around each other 24/7 will strengthen the bond, the opposite is true. Giving each other space enables personal growth and allows partners to experience new things independently, making them appreciate each other’s time even more.
Role-playing is another effective way to keep the spark alive. It’s not just about intimacy and sex but exploring each other’s desires and fantasies, which can create an emotional connection.
Lastly, respect and ambition are essential factors to keep individual growth, and by constantly pushing each other to be the best version of themselves; partners will always have something to look forward to and be proud of.
Consistency in Relationships
The mere-exposure effect applies in all forms of relationships. The more time spent together, the more the fondness and bond will grow stronger.
However, being around each other every day is not enough; being dependable and consistent should also be a priority.
Fighting for Her Love Every Day
Every day should feel like a date, a chance to show your partner that you’re still in it for the long haul. Trust is one of the key factors in any relationship, and it’s excellent to demonstrate that through action and not just words.
Attention is also something that should be shown constantly, offering support and being there when your partner needs you. Dependability, checking up on your partner frequently and always being reliable also shows trustworthiness, which is essential in any relationship.
Importance of Keeping Promises
Making and keeping promises of all sizes is an effective way to build trust in a relationship. However, breaking promises can cause big rifts, which is why it’s important to only make promises you can keep.
Small promises, such as regularly checking in on your partner, can go a long way in building trust and consistency in the relationship.
Demonstrating Trustworthiness
Demonstrating trustworthiness can be in different forms, listening and offering help in a time of need is also a way to show dependability. Being her rock, as she does for you, and standing by her side through life’s up and downs is a way of showing commitment to the relationship.
In conclusion, building a lasting and loving relationship requires more than just one factor. By combining the power of sexual attraction and consistency in relationships, couples can create a relationship that is both fulfilling and satisfying.
It takes effort, communication, and dedication, but the rewards are definitely worth it. Thank you for reading,

Building a Strong Foundation for True Love: Revisiting the 3 Pillars of Love
Dear Reader,
In our previous articles, we talked about the 3 pillars of love that form the foundation of any strong and lasting relationship: intimate connection, sexual attraction, and consistency.

The 3 pillars of love are based on both logical and emotional factors. While it may seem like love is purely a matter of emotional feelings, research has shown that there are actual brain functions at play when we fall in love.
The first pillar is intimate connection, which involves acceptance, vulnerability, true self, openness, and reciprocation. Intimate connection is about getting to know your partner on a deep level and creating a safe space for vulnerability and open expression.
The second pillar is sexual attraction, which involves sexual tension, distance, familiarity, respect, and ambition. Sexual attraction is the spark that ignites between two people and creates the foundation for physical and emotional intimacy.

Bringing the Pillars Together
While each of the pillars is important individually, bringing them together creates a foundation for true love. By having an intimate connection, sexual attraction, and consistency in the relationship, we can have both the emotional and logical benefits that come with a strong and lasting relationship.
Intimate Connection + Sexual Attraction
Intimate connection and sexual attraction work together to create a deep and fulfilling emotional connection. Without sexual attraction, a relationship may lack passion and excitement.
Without intimate connection, a relationship may lack depth and understanding. Creating an intimate connection requires vulnerability and openness, while creating sexual attraction requires building tension and intimacy.
The key to balancing these two pillars is to focus on emotional intimacy, which can lead to both physical and emotional intimacy.
Consistency + Intimate Connection
Consistency and intimate connection create a sense of stability and dependability in a relationship.
When we have intimate connection, we feel safe and secure, and consistency builds on this sense of safety by providing a constant presence in our lives.

The key to balancing these two pillars is to prioritize spending quality time together, listening to each other’s needs, and providing support when needed.
Consistency + Sexual Attraction
Consistency and sexual attraction create a sense of anticipation and commitment in a relationship.
When we have sexual attraction, we feel passionate and excited about our partner, and consistency builds on this by providing a sense of trust and dependability. Consistency requires being present for each other every day and keeping promises, while sexual attraction requires building tension and excitement.
The key to balancing these two pillars is to create space and novelty in the relationship while maintaining a sense of comfort and safety.
Logical Choice

By focusing on the three pillars of love- intimate connection, sexual attraction, and consistency- we can create a foundation for a strong and lasting relationship that is both emotional and logical.
When you bring the three pillars of love together, you create a relationship that is built on trust, understanding, and respect. Ultimately, love is a choice, and by choosing to prioritize these three pillars, we can build a lasting relationship that is fulfilling and satisfying.
