In any healthy love relationship, a firmly planted “friendship” is essential, if not THE KEY ingredient to lasting love. Friendship is based on mutual respect, trust & caring about each others well being, and happiness. If those seeds are planted in the relationship, love takes root and blooms begin to grow, and when given the right amount of care. ~ Bonnie Jordan
