- Enables in decision making: One of the major challenges in love relationship is making a decision to be in a relationship or not. Making the decision is difficult because it involves some level of risk taking. However, the inner strength convinces one that he/she can face the challenge. Such a person must find a reason enough that would make them accept to take the decision of beginning a relationship. Motivation convinces a person that such a decision would improve his/her future life and hence accepts or denies whichever decision helps in improving their future. Thus less motivated individuals will find it difficult to accept to be in love relationship while others will enter into one not taking much consideration of future repercussions.

Such are the moments, when unchecked leads to premature end of love relationships. At such moments, the inner strength becomes handy in sorting issues concerned.

This creativity goes a long way in enabling such lovers take up new assignments aimed at increasing their mutual pleasure, joy, fulfillment and meaning.
- Gives focus and direction to the love relationship: You cannot think about motivation and not think about the future. Motivated lovers are forward looking and plans for their future. Motivation enables such lovers to create their own future projects and exercises. Motivated lovers experience most out of their relationships for they are able to forge their desired future and work towards achieving it.
