There is a very fine line between lust and love because
two of them are closely related. Being able to tell
difference can save you from wasting your time pursuing an unhealthy relationship which is doomed to eventual failure.
If your long-term goal is to seek out a partner with whom you can build a solid, lifetime commitment, knowing
difference between lust and love is an essential and vital skill you'll want to master. Learning to accept a relationship for what it really is can mean
difference between a broken heart and a happy, fulfilling, lifetime of bliss with your partner.
