When it comes to love, there are no guarantee identifiers to hidden causes of relationship failure to guide you through a step by step process to avoid getting your heart broken. It shows you why love by itself does not guarantee you'll enjoy a successful relationship. Love is not just words, its words that must be validated by corresponding actions. A person loves you according to how they treat you not by what they tell you. In every loving relationship, you must have trust, trust that comes from a consistent behavior. When a person says, I love you-you should be able to trust that they do because it was proven repeatedly. When you get a broken heart it's not because that person doesn't love you, it's because you love them. If you're able to love someone, you'll be in a vulnerable position and subject to getting hurt. If you must ask or have doubts that someone loves your chances are; they don't love you and or you haven't experienced what real love is. Although there's no guaranteed way to prevent getting your heart broken, you can ease the pain and shorten the process by loving yourself first, more and often.
