Who do we learn to love from ?
We all know that relationships are different & unique.
I do agree that every relationship has its own dynamics & challenges. But I've realised that the conduct your relationship is based, consciously or not, on learnt behaviour from the way someone else conducted their relationship.
Be it a loving relationship between an old couple, a relative or even ones parents. The way we handle ourselves in our relationships later in life is a direct re-enactment of a behaviour we learnt. We tend to treat our partners the way we were taught.

In my opinion... two people could be able to keep the relationship full of love when they could stay still ON THE SHIP. what all the effort of building love is made when the two people are not on the same ship?? and the place for a ship is in the ocean while we all know ocean has full of natural challenges, big wave, storm, sharks, pirates, etc.
So, what I see that the reason why it is called RELATION-SHIP : relation is built on the same ship.
In my experience, life is about learning what Higher Love is, about how to more deeply Love and about how to allow ourselves to be Loved, deeply so. Life is experience. Yes, we start out loving or attempting to love based on our earliest experiences of how we were or weren’t loved by sources external to ourselves.
But through relationships, our experiences can and do change and deepen as we come to know ourselves more clearly because we serve as mirrors for one another… eventually showing one another that true access to the source of all Love is found within each one of us and, from there flows outwards
