During a conversation with Bozzi, Lowe emphasized that forgiveness is the key to a successful long-term relationship. According to the “Unstable” cast, forgiveness is essential in allowing connection to flourish.
He also advised caution with those issues, stating, “People say marriage takes work. I’m not sure if it takes effort, but forgiveness and being aware of which hill you’re willing to die on.”
In addition to forgiveness, Lowe emphasized the importance of keeping the physical spark alive for a successful long-term relationship, saying, “I believe you definitely need heat.”
“If you don’t have the heat — and that’s a chemistry thing — I mean, I still have it with Sheryl, you’ve got to keep the heat,” he added.
Acknowledging the intensity of attraction may be diminishing over time; he shared, “That comes and goes too. There are times when you’re like, ‘Well.’ And then there are times when you’re wild for someone.”
