Intimacy is an important part of any relationship, but how can you know that your partner is the right one for you? There is no absolute recipe that will make two people stay happily together for the rest of their lives; however, there are obvious signs that show that a couple has a great chance of having a long and happy marriage.
Below are some of the ways that have been proven to help you determine whether or not your partner is the one to spend the rest of your life with.
1. You Have Similar Character and Personal Life Orientations
The essence of a relationship is the common set of values and the fact that people have similar life objectives. There is one thing that shows that two partners can have a long-term relationship: if you are on the same page about the main aspects of life, such as family, money, and plans for the future.
Example: Do you both want kids? What do you think about career goals or choices regarding where to reside? It is important to talk about these things before possible issues arise.
2. You feel that you can be exactly who you are around the people in the group.
Being “The One” means that your partner embraces you and all that you are and are capable of becoming. The best people are those with whom you do not have to pretend, to cover up for your imperfections, and to be someone you are not.
Red Flag: If you’re always feeling criticized or if criticism or not feeling ‘good enough’ is a frequent thought, then it may be time to consider separating.
3. Your communication with friends, family members, colleagues, and strangers is open and honest.
If a couple wants their relationship to work, they need to have healthy communication skills. You should be able to talk about anything with your partner without any form of reprimand or vengeance.
Quick Test: Are you able to discuss the problematic issues, such as finances or uncertainties, without an increase in conflicts?
4. Everyone Supports Each Other In Their Development
A strong partner motivates you to succeed and be the best that you can be. They really do cheer you on during your victories and are there for you when you need to face a difficulty.
Check: Are they encouraging, or do they remind you of all the reasons why you should not be doing this?
5. This means you deal with conflict in a professional manner.
Every relationship has its conflict, but the way you deal with it shows a lot. A good partner is more interested in solving the issue than proving a point or passing it off to the other person.
Healthy Conflict Looks Like:
Paying attention to the other person and his or her point of view.
Excluding from the list such actions as using name-calling or insults.
Compromising where necessary.
6. You are very close emotionally with each other.
Unlike physical attraction, you have a feeling that you are on the same wavelength. Your partner knows you in a way that no one else can, and even when life happens, you feel close.
Key Sign: Do they pay attention when something is off base, and do they care about how you feel?
7. You Have Fun Together
In the long and short of it, life is always easier if you can have fun with your partner. Humor and laughter are great ways of relating, and when you make time for fun, it helps to build your relationship.
Pro Tip: Search for a person that can breathe life into the ordinary.
Key Takeaways:
Seek common ground, psychological safety, and verbal communication.
Ensure your partner helps you grow and understands how to solve conflicts.
Love that is long-lasting can be identified by a strong bond and fun.
