Buck Owens gave us a piece of advice in love with his classic hit “I Don’t Care (Just as Long as You Love Me).”

What would you risk for love? Will you consider the other’s opinion before entering into the relationship? Sometimes, what destroys a relationship are the rumors spread by others. People tend to judge the relationship bases on what they see without looking on the other side of the story.

Actually, there is no formula in having a perfect relationship but the important thing is you are willing to save the relationship more than the others. In line with this is Buck Owens’ classic “I Don’t Care (Just as Long as You Love Me).”
