Have you been looking for signs that your relationship will last?
Look no further because all the answers are here. These 13 signs will
give you assurances that your relationship is built to last - at least
that's what
Lovepanky says.
1. You’re honest with each other. Honesty is
undoubtedly the best policy to live by, if you want your relationship to
last. Whether it takes the form of bickering, gentle reminders, or
straightforward admonitions that you’ve put on weight, being honest is
very important. If you regularly practice honesty, there’s a high chance
that your relationship is built to last.
2. You’ve survived the unthinkable. If you’ve
weathered storms together, there’s a good chance you’ll stick together
in the long run. Whether your partner has survived a life-threatening
illness, whether you’ve undergone multiple miscarriages, whether you’ve
forgiven each other for infidelity, or whether you’ve moved around the
world for each other, they all count. If your relationship can go
through the toughest times imaginable and still emerge alive and
thriving, it was built to last.
3. There are shared goals. It is important that
both parties share the same life goals. For example, your relationship
won’t last if he wants kids and you don’t. It also won’t last if you
want to live like a nomad and she wants to settle down. At the very
least, you have to be looking in the same direction in order for the
relationship to work. If not, you may as well bid farewell now.
4. There’s teamwork. The whole point of entering
into a partnership with someone is so that you have a team member to
lean on. Whether it’s enjoying the finer things in life like taking a
vacation together, or grunting through the pains of everyday life to
ensure that the mortgage is paid on time, there should be teamwork if
you want your relationship to last.
5. There’s unfailing loyalty. Loyalty, in every
sense of the word, is super important in a relationship. It could be
anything, from standing up for your partner when someone’s bad-mouthing
them, to not getting some action on the side. No matter what, as long as
you’re true and just to one another, your relationship will stand the
test of time
6. You don’t question your unity. Everyone
questions their relationship. Thoughts such as, “Am I with the right
person?” cross everyone’s minds now and then. Somehow, no matter how
often you ask yourself this, you’ll know deep down inside that you’re on
the right track. It’s that sense of “just knowing” that will keep your
relationship strong.
7. There’s mutual respect. Along with loyalty,
respect is one of the most important traits to practice in a
relationship. If you and your partner share a mutual respect for one
another, you’re good to go. There’s nothing worse than being belittled
by the person you love, so if you have to deal with this, you need to
figure out a way to change it immediately.
8. There’s excellent communication. What’s the
point of pledging your heart and soul to someone if you can’t
communicate? There’s nothing worse than keeping feelings pent up inside,
because one day, they’ll all come tumbling out, and you can kiss your
sweetheart goodbye. Be sure that the lines of communication are
constantly open and don’t be afraid to share the good, the bad, and the
ugly with your partner.
9. There’s no judgment. No matter how ridiculous
something may seem to you, don’t belittle your partner for loving it,
doing it, or believing in it. There should be zero judgment in a
relationship and you should be each other’s pillars of strength. Support
comes in all shapes and forms, so be sure to exhibit this often. You
have to let your partner know that no matter what, you’re not going to
judge them, and you’ll offer continuous support.
10. You make an effort to keep it alive. It’s the
little things that matter in a relationship, and you’d be surprised at
just how worthy all the little love notes, sweet emails, flowers,
surprise picnics, playlists, and perfumed gifts are. As long as both of
you are making an effort to keep the spark alive, there’s no reason why
your relationship won’t last.
11. There’s undying love. They say that loves
conquers all and, to a point, they’re right. Nothing holds a
relationship together better than love. If you’re still deeply in love
with your partner despite all their flaws, you’re in the clear.
12. The sex is still exciting. Along with love,
there’s sex. If the sex is still exciting, then you have nothing to
fear. Whether you indulge in sex games, invite a third party into the
bedroom, play with toys, or keep it on schedule, that’s your
prerogative. Sex is as important as everything else on this list, and if
you can still be thrilled by your partner, then your relationship will
probably last.
13. You share the same values. What many people
fail to realize is that in order for a relationship to last, both
parties have to share the same core values. If he loves God and you
don’t, that’s a problem. If she believes in volunteering and you don’t,
that’s a problem. If you can’t agree on how to raise your kids, you have
a problem.
