My husband and I were listening to a podcast that said Trust, Respect, Kindness and Affection were the 4 foundational principals of love. I added Compassion because it moves empathy into action. He asked me to make some art to remind him. :)

Arguably "Affection" includes Compassion.

@n_dimension All of them overlap for sure! Just a matter of interpretation. :) Me and my Hubby like this acronym.
@n_dimension I finally have time to dig into this. You got me thinking about compassion vs affection. Thinking is always a GOOD thing! I found this and thought it explained it well! https://medium.com/@narendranafi/my-last-relationship-taught-me-that-compassion-is-more-important-than-affection-b7a53fd524ff
My Last Relationship Taught Me That: Compassion Is More Important Than Affection

I used to think love was about intensity. How often we talked. How much we missed each other. How strong the attraction felt.

Nice find. Narendra puts into words what was intuition.
We always learn.
And it's good.
