The True Essence of Relationships
Every relationship is built on dedication, sacrifice, and constant effort. A bond is never sustained by one person alone—it takes the equal participation of both sides. Relationships are not limited to the bond between husband and wife; they apply to every human connection. As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap. In the same way, a relationship can only remain alive when both individuals contribute wholeheartedly.
When it comes to marriage, only a small percentage—perhaps five to ten percent—manage to remain truly strong and resilient. In these relationships, couples handle misunderstandings with open conversations, thoughtful compromises, and mutual understanding. They promise to move forward in life together, grounded in love, trust, and respect to each other.

Yet many relationships crumble at the very first sign of conflict. In the United States, nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. Here, people tend to prioritize independence, self respect and personal freedom, which often outweighs the obligation to stay together. By contrast, many first-generation Nepali immigrants still carry with them the traditions, cultural values, and social expectations of their homeland. Because of this, they often put more effort into preserving their relationships, even when challenges arise.
Some marriages, however, survive only through compromise. Many women endure their husband’s harsh behavior, verbal abuse, or humiliation for the sake of family, children, or social reputation. Likewise, some men suppress their own feelings and tolerate disrespect just to keep the family intact.
But when a relationship is filled only with insults and disregard, without love or respect, it has already died from within. Even if it appears intact from the outside, emotionally the partners have long drifted apart. A true relationship requires more than physical presence—it thrives on emotional closeness and mutual care.
Too often, pride becomes the silent killer of intimacy. Those who insist, “I am always right,” may feel like they have won an argument, but in truth, they are facing one of life’s greatest losses. As long as the other person still argues back, the door to dialogue remains open. But once the responses stop, silence becomes the proof that the relationship has already emptied itself.
The truth is simple: while some relationships endure only through sacrifice, the strongest ones flourish because both people invest equally—sharing love, trust, and respect.
If you want your relationship to grow and remain evergreen:
-
Cultivate love and trust with each other.
-
Learn to honor self-worth and respect each other’s perspectives.
-
Put aside your ego and make room for humility.
Victory in a relationship does not come when one person wins and the other loses. True success comes when both partners value each other equally, recognizing that every life is just as precious as their own. The golden key to a lasting, beautiful relationship lies in respecting others as much as you respect yourself.
Because if you cling to the joy of thinking, “I have won,” it will eventually turn into regret. And no relationship built on regret can ever bring true happiness.
