Trouble with this sentence


一番好きな人どうしが一番好きでいられる関係が一番だって、信じてるから

My translation would be something like this: Because I believe the best thing
is for the person you like best to be liked the best.

I'm having trouble to understand this sentence because the word best keeps
being repeated.




> 「一番好{いちばんす}きな人どうしが一番好きでいられる関係{かんけい}が一番だって、信{しん}じてるから。」

First, let us look at the over-all sentence structure. It is saying that a
certain kind of relationship (関係) is the best. Now, what kind is that?

It is one in which 「一番好きな人どうし」 can maintain a 「一番好きでいられる」 type of situation.
Are you following?

「一番好きな人どうし」 means " ** _two_** people who truly love each other (the best)"

「一番好きでいられる」 means "could keep loving each other the best"

Put it altogether and you will have:

> "I believe that it would be the best (kind of) relationship if two people
> loving each other the best could maintain that relationship."

More literally,

> "I believe that a relationship in which two people who love each other the
> best could keep loving each other the best would be the best (kind of)
> relationship."

Wordy, I know, but that is how the original is.
