Have you ever thought about the actual value of your relationship?
What is its basis? Genuine Love? Just Passion? Or both?
Unfortunately, in our society, we are not educated on understanding and developing the language of emotions. The confusion between love and passion often arises due to the lack of information.
I do not mean love for family, children, a pet, or a friend, as I will not refer to your passions, hobbies, or a broad discussion of sexual passion, but strictly, I will touch on the subject of couple relationships based on love or just passion.
LOVE OR PASSING PASSION?
From the expert’s point of view, love and passion are two different things, but related together, they have a crucial significance for a healthy couple relationship.
If I had had access to this information during my marriage, it certainly would have taken another path. But now, after many years have passed, I am aware of the differences between the two emotional values. I am sure that you have gone through life, at least once, through the experiences from the beginning of a relationship, when everything seems lovely, you get a little silly, you see the world in colors, you feel butterflies in your stomach, and you see in your partner, the perfect character.
Well… I was there, too.
But I also knew the less extraordinary after that, when all the feelings and the fire of passion are gone, and all the defects appear on the surface.
I was there, and I felt on my skin the two stages in all their intensity. But over the years, I have learned to differentiate the value of each relationship, to realize if it is only a passing, superficial passion or a healthy love.
9 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LOVE AND PASSION
PASSION: it comes and goes; it is immediate and for the moment.
LOVE: it persists, builds, and develops over time, passing through different positive and negative stages.
When Love is real, and Passion will last!
PASSION: it feeds on needs.
LOVE: nurtures much more with principles, honesty, communication, and empathy.
PASSION: It is superficial; it is satisfied with the target purchase.
LOVE: want to know the qualities and values of the person.
PASSION: It is divergence, whichever people can feel it.
LOVE: is focused only on the person concerned.
PASSION: Lives in the field of insecurity, questions reality, and asks for approval and validation abroad.
LOVE: lives in the field of trust; when you love, you know and feel it and do not need anyone’s opinion.
PASSION: does not require communication; superficial dialogues are sufficient.
LOVE: survives with complex communication.
PASSION: Controls, suffocates, becomes selfish, possessive, creates obstacles.
LOVE: gives wings, supports, and stimulates the flight ahead.
PASSION: blinds you and makes you believe your partner is perfect.
LOVE: It makes you wiser. You know your partner is not embodied perfection, but you love and accept him as he is.
PASSION destroys through exaggerated jealousy, leading to a dominant and sick control.
LOVE: builds by giving freedom to the partner and encouraging him to overcome his limitations.
FINAL THOUGHTS…
As Steve Maraboli said:
I want love, passion, honesty and companionship, sex that drives me crazy, and conversation that keeps me sane, and I agree with him.
This is the key to a successful relationship: combine love with passion, spice them up with crazy sex, and give them time to strengthen with honesty, communication, and companionship.

The act of loving someone is a conscious decision. I would say that love is the expression of affection, accompanied with passion, put into action, shown to someone who seems to be the only one. I have had diverse experience and even while some are great, some still sting till this day.

Hi Tariqul, thank you very much for your appreciation and beautiful words.
Unfortunately, nowadays relationships are treated in a superficial way. No more investing in a relationship, thus reaching a dead point, routinely, without vitality, which ultimately leads to separation.

Hi Shimba,
Thank you for stopping by. Good questions, and to answer to them….of course passion can exist without love. But in one relation to have just passion means to be like in “friends with benefits”.
An excellent formula for having a genuine relationship means to involve both love and passion.To grow passion in a relationship means to spicy the love. I hope I have answered to your questions.
