The word love is often heard in school, home, or even in our workplace. Thus, talking about love has something to do with a lifetime commitment, so we want to be the perfect person for our partners. Do you agree? Some of us think that we already know how to manage a relationship successfully, but why do we still fail to have one healthy and successful relationship?

The reason may be because of our personality. Having a successful relationship has no formula, but always remember that the main reason why we enter into a relationship is that we believe that the person we have now is not the same person we loved before. The personality of the person is not determined by his/her looks instead it is based on how he/she treats the person whom he/she loves. Let me introduce to you the song “Wanted,” performed by the one and only, Hunter Hayes. Surely, you can relate to this song.

“At the time, I was trying to tell somebody something, but I couldn’t figure out how to say it. So I wanted to say it in music because I knew it would be a little more impactful. I wanted to say we are great in this relationship together, and I feel like it could even get better.”
