Vivek Oberoi Says Time and Respect Sustain Lasting Love

Vivek Oberoi Says Time and Respect Sustain Lasting Love
Vivek Oberoi shares his simple formula for a lasting relationship · indianexpress.com

Vivek Oberoi says love needs two important things: time and respect.

Spending time shows that someone matters to you.

Respect means speaking kindly and protecting each other’s feelings and dignity.

Delnna Rrajesh says expensive gifts and big romantic gestures do not always keep relationships strong.

Small, regular acts of care can matter more.

Being in the same room is not enough if people are not really listening to each other.

Even 20 minutes of focused conversation can help partners feel closer.

Couples can ask about each other’s day and feelings without using phones or discussing chores.

They should also appreciate ordinary efforts and avoid using private weaknesses against each other.
