Sometimes when people fall in love with each other, they feel like they can handle anything. That they are ready to go through all the difficulties of life together. And all the losses, suffering, burdens, failures are powerless as long as they are together. Faithful, true love helps a person to live and move on, even if it is not reciprocal. Once one of the greats said: “True love helps to endure all hardships.”
How rightly noted! So let's turn to the works of Russian classical literature to see this.
In Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment, the main character, Rodin Romanovich Raskolnikov, falls in love with a girl named Sonya Marmeladova. Love for Sonya changes him for the better, and Rodion confesses that he committed a crime, after which he goes to hard labor. But Sonechka did not forget him and was with him all the time: from the moment when he first confessed to her until his stay in hard labor. She comes to him even a year later, thereby making his difficult life easier. Their love overcame all difficulties and led to good changes.
And in the story “The Garnet Bracelet” by Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin, one of the heroes, G.S.
Zheltkov, in general, lived only for the sake of his beloved, Vera Sheina. However, his love was not reciprocated, but despite this, in his suicide letter he wrote to her that she was his only joy and consolation. And only when Vera’s husband and brother actually forbade him to hope for any mutual feelings from Vera and send her letters, he decides to commit suicide. For eight years, his love for Vera helped him endure the hardships of life. He lived in a poor house, was a minor official, his life was not full of variety and impressions. But he was delighted in every possible way by the little things in the form of a scarf she had forgotten, a short message from her, thoughts about her and the desire to please her... In my opinion, this is a very illustrative example of how love helps not only to endure the hardships of life, but also to live in general.
Yes, indeed, in both of the examples I gave, the characters loved truly and deeply. Love really helped them endure all the hardships, made life easier, filled it with colors and positive emotions. This is both the most beautiful power of love and the most destructive.

What is true love? For me, this is the love for which people sacrifice themselves, change, make compromises in order to be together as long as possible. And, of course, true love implies constant support and support in both joy and sorrow. Thus, I fully support the words of F. Schiller that true love helps to endure all hardships. The correctness of this point of view can be proven by examples from the literature.
A prime example of what positive psychology is and how it is often ineffective is drugs in the treatment of mental illness. As a couple: you will learn or rather learn that happiness is in the little things and small details and of course anything can be overcome if we can embrace it with the right tools.

And that's the problem, they don't know if they love each other because it's a game or for real. As a couple: the most important thing you can learn is how necessary it is in love and relationships to communicate, be honest and transparent, and most of all, how important it is to clarify our feelings before it's too late.
Going back a little to Woody Allen and his muses, in Vicky Cristina Barcelona we find a love film, but with a slightly different love. If what you want is movies you can watch as a couple and explore different aspects of sex and relationships, this is your movie. Barderm is a young and cheeky artist who knows how to perfectly coax Vicky and Cristina to take them to Barcelona to enjoy a weekend of sex and fun. When they least expect it, Maria Elena, the protagonist's ex-girlfriend, appears.
He talks about a reality that we often don't want to see or even, we don't know, blood diamonds. In Africa, armed and powerful commandos subjugate the inhabitants of different regions of the continent into slave practices with the sole purpose of extracting the diamond hidden under the deciduous forests of Africa. As part of this plot, a love story appears between DiCaprio and Konuli, as well as a friendship between the former and Djimon Hounsou. The white African is somewhat lost, and the thief and survivor is a black African enslaved and who wants to save his family from the hands of slave traders and a strange journalist.
Let's turn to Nicholas Sparks' novel The Notebook. This novel tells about true and true love. The main characters Noah and Ellie fall in love with each other at first sight, they are so interesting to each other that Ellie, despite the will of her parents, continues to date Noah. Ellie is forced to leave for her hometown. Young people promise each other that their love will be eternal. After fourteen years of separation, they meet and are once again intoxicated by intimacy. Ellie completely changes her life plans. They get married, have five children and live for each other. In her old age, Ellie was given a terrible diagnosis - Alzheimer's disease. Noah did not give up and tried to the end to restore the memory of his beloved, reading his memory diary, where the days spent together were so well described. The author shows that true love helps the heroes live a wonderful life and overcome adversity.
The story begins of polyamory and problems in equal parts. As a couple: a different perspective on relationships and the possibility that almost any man and a large number of women would like to experience, polyamory. You may have some good ideas or the push you need to try new things.
You can basically appreciate what men usually do when we love a girl. It sounds like a cliché, and this movie uses it to build its plot. However, the plot has unexpected and interesting twists that will make you have an entertaining time as a couple. This will help you empathize with both personalities.
A great cocktail to freshen up what is, in my opinion, one of Leonardo DiCaprio's best films. As a couple: you will learn the importance of loyalty and helping others, the importance of friendship and of course the importance of having someone there for you during difficult times.
A prime example of what positive psychology is and how often it is ineffective is drugs in the treatment of mental illness. As a couple: you will learn or rather learn that happiness is in the little things and small details and of course anything can be overcome if we can embrace it with the right tools.
Another work confirming Schiller’s words is the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment". Sonya Marmeladova is a vicious girl, and at first glance you might think that she is the same criminal as Raskolnikov. But it is she who puts Rodion on the path of repentance. This defenseless, weak and fragile girl falls in love with Raskolnikov, follows him to hard labor and endures his indifference. Over time, Raskolnikov realizes that he has no one closer to Sonya. He rethinks everything he has done and is resurrected to move on with his life. If it weren’t for Sonya’s true love, it’s scary to imagine the fate of this hero.

What might have seemed like a children's movie turned out to be one of the biggest discoveries my friend made. Of the films to watch in animated pairing, this is one of the best and funniest. Additionally, you will learn the value of unconditional love for children and the importance of having people who love us around to achieve our goals no matter how “tyrannical” they are.
A drama based on a true story about a mathematician who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and who begins to "lose her mind" after finishing her university studies. His wife is always there to help him and fight for his treatment. Love for those that only exist in movies, but that teach us how important it is for others to be able to move forward. A genius turned madman and a housewife turned nurse, making this an essential film for lovers of human behavior and mental illness.
Love is always a problem, with the positive part of the beginning of love and the negative side when it ends. Of all the films you can see as a couple, these are the most different scenarios. Like any French film worth its salt, open and varied stages, very well-crafted characters and very well-developed protagonists are the hallmarks of the personality. However, behind this script, the film is funny and sad in equal parts. Two friends who have known each other since childhood and have been playing "capable or incompetent" ever since, presenting increasingly difficult problems until they reach a point where they both stop differentiating between what is true and what the game is.
Love, which is based on self-sacrifice, the desire to be with a person and support him in all situations, can be the strongest. Stronger than poverty, misfortune, hard labor and even disease. And it is this kind of love that will help you endure all the hardships of life. I hope I'm lucky and find just such love.

Loyalty is a direct confirmation of the sincerity of feelings and relationships. Be it friendship or love, if they are real, then you will never know what betrayal is. And this manifests itself not only in relation to people, but also to preferences, views, interests.

Quotes from poets (classics and contemporaries)
Loyalty is a straight road without loops,
Loyalty is a virtue of a mature soul,
Loyalty - August glory and smoke,
Heat, young people cannot understand it,
Loyalty - we walked under bullets together,
Faithful friends were buried together.
Sadness and courage - I won’t tell you.
Loyalty to the bread and fidelity to the knife,
Loyalty to death and fidelity to insults.
I won’t remember the delirium of my heart, I won’t betray it.
Aim for the heart! They will walk over you
Loyalty to the heart and loyalty to fate. (Ilya Erenburg, “Loyalty”)

No matter what happens to you, no matter what happens to me later... (Yu. Drunina “Loyalty”)Happy monogamous people
Are they fellow believers?

This is neither less nor more

Choose your own path. (Yashin, “Happy Monogamous People”)
Photography remains faithful to the past... I saw how people went blind,
I saw how they lived in hell,
I saw the ground beating.

Bad? Say it's bad.
Right? Say what's true.
No boasting, no begging,
I only believe in you, Loyalty,
Age, people, fate.
If you endure without a fairy tale,
If they ask, answer directly,
If to a post, without a bandage, -
Loyalty knows how to look. (Ilya Erenburg, “Loyalty”)

But if such a person falls in love, and the love is mutual, then we can consider that these two have drawn a happy lot. True love helps you survive all difficulties, go through all trials.
F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel “Crime and Punishment,” at first glance, is not about love. But in fact, the central heroine of the novel is Sonya Marmeladova - the embodiment of universal love. A girl of extraordinary responsiveness, warmth, openness and religiosity, she deserves a better fate. Cornered by her stepmother, Sonya goes to the panel, but her soul remains pure. The meeting with Raskolnikov becomes fateful for her. He, Raskolnikov, chooses her because he believes that the girl committed suicide by going out into prostitution. And she understood Raskolnikov after the first meeting. When he told her about the murder of the old pawnbroker, Sonya accepted all of Rodion Romanovich’s pain as her own. She gives advice - to confess to the murder, because this is the only way to atone for guilt, to atone for the crime. She follows Raskolnikov to hard labor and waits for him to wake up from his state of contempt for everything that surrounds him. Only after suffering an illness does Rodion suddenly realize that he misses her presence. Sonya's faithful love stood the test of time and became the basis for Raskolnikov's feelings. Hugging the now dear person, the former killer reflects that now all of Sonya’s views, her faith have become his faith too. They decide to live and wait for the release of Rodion Raskolnikov in order to start a new life.

First, Peter saves Maria, and then the daughter of Captain Mironov goes to the empress herself to rescue her beloved from prison. So the love of both became the key to their future long, happy life.
