Love Starts Within Yourself

Ever since we were younger, we were taught that you cannot give your heart to someone else until you love yourself first. I believe that this is true. A Marriage will not last if you are unable to understand yourself and love yourself because then it makes it hard to deceifer what you really are looking for in your soulmate. However, what about the people who are married with depression? Their outer body shows their sadness and struggle, but their vibe attracts others? Do their mates believe that they will be able to help them? A lot of people in relationships believe that they can fix others, but how is that healthy for them? If they do not succeed, their love slides away. So, in my conclusion, love cannot succeed if you do not learn to love yourself. Loving yourself gives you the power to give your partner your whole self.
