In relationships, actions speak louder than sugar-laced promises. Some may find this utopic but lovers still exchange flowers and save the most savoury bites for their better halves. Quite honestly, nothing screams affection like the little things we do for our beloved.

Hence, the duty of preserving the emotional equilibrium falls squarely on the other partner. To top that, the intensity of efforts needed to float a relationship also varies from one equation to another.
