Answer- Passion is only one part, that’s the physical attraction, the flirting, the affection, the chemistry that makes you want to be close. It usually shows up fast and strong, but here’s the catch, passion can also fade quickly. When it does, it sometimes feels like withdrawal, irritability, sadness, or even that “something’s missing” feeling.
There’s is also intimacy, that deep emotional bond, sharing secrets, trusting each other, being vulnerable. The more you open up, the closer you feel. Of course, everyone still needs a little private space, but in a healthy relationship, most things are on the table.
And, commitment, when you stay faithful, or when you choose to ride out the hard seasons together. Commitment usually builds slowly, but if the relationship is good, it grows stronger over time.
Passion by itself isn’t enough you also need to nurture your bond “intimacy”and make a daily choice to stay committed to one another “Commitment” However, not every stage of a relationship includes all three elements; in some cases, couples stay together out of commitment, even when passion and intimacy are missing.
