I bolded the starting sentence of the third graph -- the thing is when you talk to people in different age groups, they have different aspirations and needs from a relationship. a same person can put love as a huge motivating factor in their 20s/teenage years but in their 30s, can feel that respect is more important. the reverse can also happen. you hear of people who you think will never consider love all of a sudden talking about love when they are older. so sometimes life changes you or maybe you are just more honest with yourself.
that said, what one needs from a relationship can be very different from another. what do I mean by that? ask someone their favourite romantic move and they might name a move / drama that will make your eyes roll. even in a drama where there are multiple couples, there are often shipping wars that happen where one set of fans feel their couple is more 'romantic' than other. however people entirely miss the point they could learn there. often, the couples we find 'romantic' tells us something about ourselves and what we would like and need from a relationship. so some find witty banter couple romantic while another might find a quiet couple who hardly speak romantic. some find examples of trust and loyalty romantic while others might find spontaneity and laughter romantic. there is no actual standard measurement for romantic. it is basically all about the couple, the chemistry, the feelings of being on the same page.
then there is the question of what makes a marriage work. yes, you can love each other but have the relationship still fall apart. one needs to be able to communicate, have a common vision and be able to work with each other on a variety of different projects/areas. it sounds more like a work relationship but if you think about it, those skills also apply. now, you can still try your very best but it still won't work in some cases.
now, back to the story -- ram and priya are honest about their expectations from each other, are communicating what they are looking and having a shared vision that they are doing it for their family and are willing to work with each other. so they should be successful in their journey. ❤️
