Initial attraction gets someone interested, but it won't keep a relationship alive. There's a second, deeper form of attraction that actually anchors a partnership. Most people stop at the first spark and never learn how to build the one that lasts.
Initial attraction is very important because it's what gets us interested and helps us get to know someone better. Now, here's the big secret. You ready? Most people think that's all that you need for a relationship to work and for it to work forever. They think once they have that initial attraction, that's the most important thing, and then everything else will fall into place after that. What they don't realize is that they need the second kind of attraction, a deeper attraction. Without that deeper attraction— the deeper attraction is kind of like the anchor, like the anchor of a boat. It keeps it there. Without that anchor, it's not really gonna matter. The reason people who are frustrated in relationships are frustrated is because most of the time they're stopping at this initial attraction. They don't go for that deeper attraction. They don't know how.
