I think that respect is a fleeting quality that comes and goes with the intensity of the relationship.
Anything that is passionate will have clashes and fallouts where people hate and disrespect one minute and love and cherish the next.
That's how love works.
Ask my wife, or my mistress, or my girlfriend for that matter as they all love me equally even if they often don't respect me very much. 😮💨

no I doubt it jury, they are all equaly important to me. But IMO respect and trust are two prerequesits for love, without those two things there aint a base for love. and love also nurtures trust and respect.
Totally agree. I don't think you can love someone, unless you have the other two...
Loving someone requires respect and trust...

I personally rather not answer that question, just too much for me to go into. But I believe that because of what i have experienced, that not everybody does, that love does not exist, it's just merely a strong attraction, love is just a title people put on a strong attraction they feel for someone else, when it's the same kind of attraction two 14 year olds can have together, the difference is that people get married and use love as an excuse, when it's just a another attraction. That's why there are so many divorces. There have also been experiments showing that humans are just like many other animals. Animals don't usually find a mate and stay with them forever and we as humans weren't meant for that either, even though we do. It has been proven that 2 humans are attractive to each other for about 7 years, which is enough time to have offspring and then the attraction is over or isn't as strong as it was.
All kidding aside....
There are two kinds of love:
1). The short and breathless and passionate and terribly intense type.
2). The warm and comfortable and everlasting type.
The second can be the first but the first can NEVER be the second !
The ultimate love is a combination of the two !
If you have THAT kind of love the other points are meaningless !

how can you say that; when two people care for each other and come to have feelings, then it's more than attraction, and it's undeniable cause people do feel it 😖
physical attraction is over yes, and couple isn't as passionate as it used to be when they first met, but that doesn't take love away (if there ever was in the first place)
and the reason for the many divorces has more to do with the way society is today, rather than with the non-existance of love
besides, no-one says love lasts for ever; but at least it is there initially
