Love Yourself First – The Foundation of Every Healthy Relationship

Image
  Love Yourself First – Before You Expect It From Others In a world that constantly demands more from us — more patience, more love, more sacrifice — we often forget to give the most important gift to ourselves: our own love . You cannot pour from an empty cup. If you are always giving, always bending, always trying to prove your worth to others, you will eventually feel drained, unseen, and unappreciated. The truth is simple yet powerful: the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life .

Love is one of the most powerful emotions we can experience. But it’s also one of the most misunderstood. Many believe that simply loving someone deeply is enough to sustain a relationship. Unfortunately, that’s not always true. Unexpressed love can still leave someone feeling lonely, neglected, or unloved. In this post, we’ll explore why love must be shown, not just felt , and how this truth can make or break a relationship. ❤️ Why Just Feeling Love Isn’t Enough You might love someone more than words can say.
