    Educating your partner on what you think love is, and what you seek in a relationship is good. How can they be expected to know, otherwise?

      I guess my english comprehension today failed me because I said the same thing minus the educate part, isn’t the word used in a teaching context? I read OP’s post as someone who has a higher understanding of what a relationship is, which is both weird and untrue since you absolutely can have fireworks/effusive emotions after the honeymoon phase.

        you definitely can but its never going to be the same as it was during the honeymoon phase, there’s a reason they call it that. Though for me personally there would never be a honeymoon phase lol. I just don’t approach relationships like that.
