LTR and Love

In 1967 the Beatles sung their all famous song "All you need is love". Although the word 'love' is repeated more than 100 times in the song, in reality there is more to a relationship than just love.

LTR explains that a relationship has three elements that belong together. Together they make the relationship. These elements are:

•  Like/Love, which is a natural feeling of affection one has for somebody else

•  Trust, which is the feeling of security that someone else will not hurt or harm you, and

•  Respect, which is the feeling of added value that someone provides to you or to the environment

A relationship consists of the three elements. The intensity of each respective element can be from initial to very intense and from positive to negative. Hate is a feeling of love. It is just a intense negative form. A good relationship has a balanced positive combination of Love, Trust and Respect.

LTR explains that by nature Like/Love comes first, followed by Trust and ultimately by Respect.
