I think it is a great statement song, as love is not only a matter of respect and communication between two souls it also is a matter of involving and committing entirely oneself in the relationship from the beginning until death parts both persons.
Unfortunately a lot of stories fail to resume after the first dispute or crisis, because lack of involvement from one on both lead to miscommunication and a sentiment that respect is a one-way road.
What are your thoughts on that ?
Obviously there are some couples that remain, though the other one would not even deserve to be with somebody. That's another story.
