Two of the most important qualities in healthy, long-lasting relationships are communication and vulnerability.
Communication involves both <em>transparency to talk about anything which praises or challenges the relationship</em> as well as <em>close attention to listen and internalize feedback</em>. Open, judgement-free communication allows people to feel meaningful and respected as it promotes personal growth through good disposition to let feedback shape us. Therefore, a sense of stability is created which encourages preference for one such relationship over many others lacking these essential elements.
Vulnerability is the act of <em>allowing others to see our true self, (weaknesses, fears and needs included)</em> as well as that of <em>opening trust channels to let others show us theirs</em>. Vulnerability allows people to feel a deeper level of emotional involvement which increases positive attachment in any relationship. It is not easy to accomplish given our drive for self-preservation which naturally avoids potential emotional pain after a let down. However, only by incresingly putting our guard down and creating healthy spaces for others to put down theirs can we assure a relationship to stand the test of time.
Communication and vulnerability contribute to healthy, long lasting relationships.

Books were cheaper and affordable to members of the growing middle class. Also, the middle-class people started dictating the literary taste, so there was no need for employing sublime styles and topics that would appeal to the educated aristocracy. In the 16th century, Giorgio Vasari wrote his "Lives of the Artists" - an easily read and extremely interesting account on lives of secular people - the major artists of the age.
