There is no love without respect [View all]

If your partner does not respect you, he/she does not love you. End of story.

--On edit--

This is not to say that you love everything that you respect. It's just that without respect for someone's feeling, their physical well-being, their emotions, etc. --without that, there is no love. Period.
