Three Parts.
You will need a substantial level of each of them in order to function properly.
You have to believe in something, be it an Almighty, be it fate or what-nots. That is what keeps your faith and belief in life going, knowing that life is ultimately under control by an Unseen One.
The second one, obviously, is a no-brainer.
The third one, essentially love. A special someone, friends, family are requirements for you in order to seek out a hollistic life on Earth before you lie six feet under. Their encouragement, motivation, strength and faith are stepping stones to a fulfilling life.
Sounds easy, but the steps towards establishing a foothold in each of them are no easy tasks, unless you are a simpleton.
The mind is powerful. As they always say, mind over body. And I quote;
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
~ 1 Corinthians, 13:13
Everyone needs love. Be it spiritual love, emotional love or a friendly love. Sad enough, Man has changed throughout history, sufficient enough to obscure the meaning of love. Forget the so-called honeymoon period in a relationship. After years, how many of you take the effort to show appreciation for your family and loved ones by saying a simple "I love you?" Or even show simple acts of service to show your appreciation? Sometimes, the meaning(s) of love is/are perceived in differing ideas amongst individuals. What defines love? A question that sages and saints of time cannot really answer comprehensibly. You do one thing and you think it is showing love. But how sure are you that it is perceived in the same manner in the other mate? We don't call that kind of love "unappreciated love." It may jolly well be just a type of love that fails to give security and assurance as well as a sense of well-being to the others.
You take a look at this classic example. Parents buy lots of gifts for their only child so that he/she is occupied while they work. The parents thought this act was an act of love. The child goes out and mixes with streetside gangs. Because the child derives love from this kind of activity.
Bring this example into a BGR. What you see as love may not be the same as what the other mate sees. You are speaking in a different love language as he/she does. Makes sense?
Things will definitely change after a year or two because of that "madly-in-love" euphoria which covers and overwrites all the "dark" sides of your partner. You just can't see it and even if you see it, you will either brush it aside as nonsense, or you will find excuses tfor yourself. This is an innate and uncontrollable behaviour embedded deep inside a human brain sinces eons ago (hey, this is scientifically documented). The desire and the need to survive and breed your own kinds. After this urge dies off, here comes the test of real love. Are you still able to handle your "new-found" love in a positive light and tackle it in a realistic yet constructive manner? This is a real test of your mental, emotional and physical character.
No one can ascertain the future. You take the risk yourself.
Good night people.
