How do we maintain love and trust in a relationship, for us not to be a victim like Frank, Sandra and Chike?

Don't expect your partner to be perfect. No human can be perfect.
Give them the space to freely put out their opinion, without judgement.
Know that there will be times when they will not understand you, and you will not understand them. But that doesn't mean you have to disrespect each other. Communication is the key in such situations.
Support each other through life while maintaining your individuality.
Be loyal to each other physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Always solve issues in private and not in front of others.
People make mistakes, so, if it's not something major, learn to let go.
Always be honest. Never hide anything from each other.
Don't hold on to doubts and grudges. Communicate and clear it out.
Never be jealous of your partner's achievements. Encourage and motivate them in their career goals.
Learn to be patient. After an argument, if your partner needs time before they are ready to communicate again, let them have their alone time.
Don't make false and too many promises. Promise only what you can keep.
When your partner wants to talk about how they feel or what they want from the relationship. Listen to them patiently, and if you don't agree, convey it to them politely. And if you agree, try to make the necessary changes.
Lastly, spend some time knowing and loving yourself; only when you do that can you love and take care of someone else. Be wise
