A committed relationship is a friendship, a love affair, and a capacity to heal injuries. Those are are three foundations of a good committed relationship.
And the way you maintain that is by being responsive to each other. Noticing the other person’s emotional states and responding in a way where they feel safe, cared about, and known by you.
– Dr. Keith Witt
