In quality relationship, couples face the world as a team. Like a famed superhero duo, they tackle problems together. With strength, compassion, and conviction, this pair stays afloat amidst life’s murky waters.
The true meaning behind a relationship is different for all. After all, people are unique. Relationships naturally take on the same quality.
Some couples work due to common interests. Others last from pure devotion to their partner. Ultimately, what drives your partnership will differ from another.
Still, a stable, loving bond must be founded on something.
Your relationship has its own quirks. Perhaps your connection was forged from quiet traits; characteristics you haven’t yet considered significant. But every lasting relationship maintains certain core qualities – secrets, if you will. Yet these notions are rarely given the attention they deserve.
Connect these traits to your relationship. How many similarities can you find?
– Encouragement is noted as a sign of endearment.
Lasting relationships don’t ignore individual pursuit. Or, at the very least, they encourage the quest for such dreams.
Phrases like, “Good luck with your client meeting today!” or, “I know they’ll love you’re new project idea!” really stick. If one is looking to begin a new challenge, the other helps whenever possible.
Heartfelt encouragement helps a couple establish a compassionate bond. This positive feeling will cross from their home life to work. In turn, the couple will feel reassured about whatever stresses enter their life.
– Issues should be put to rest before bed.
Harsh arguments about household duties, work stress, and personal struggles can eat away at a relationship. A loving couple will address these issues sooner rather than later. Such fights may appear small. Minimal, even. But anger can easily fester into something much larger. And these couples are distinctly aware of this fact.
They don’t erupt into an intense argument about past conflicts. Rather than exploding on a Sunday about who was supposed to take the trash out Tuesday night, this couple resolves the issue right away.
Incidents don’t linger longer than a day or so in these relationships.
– Communication is key.
For a healthy couple, discussion is constant. With vigor, they converse about their lives and issues they must face together. Perhaps more notable, they communicate like best friends. This couple laughs together about strange oddities and discuss their feelings with vigor during arguments.
If plans are altered, these folks let their partner know. They listen, analyze, and communicate effectively with each other.
This couple understands the value of honest communication. They realize that if this aspect of their relationship falters, it must be mended. Without it, their seemingly loving relationship will break.
– “I love you” is a loaded statement. It should be said truthfully.
After time, the sentiment “I love you” can lose meaning. Folks eventually tack it on when a conversation ends because it feels normal. Because it feels right. Relationships with clear, toxic issues utilize this phrase as a means to keep things optimistic.
In a loving relationship, this phrase is said with honesty.
Dishes may break, paychecks may arrive later than needed, and soup might be all you can afford to eat. Through those issues, this couple perseveres. Their love doesn’t simmer because of a few broken coffee cups.
They say “I love you” because it’s the truth – not because it fixes something that’s already broken.
– Time apart is essential.
Spending every second of each day with another is a ridiculous notion. No matter how close you are to this person, it shouldn’t be done.
Certain folks deem this necessary for the health of their relationship. On the contrary, it’s the time spent apart that truly ignites a couple’s passion. This provides conversation. It allows you ample opportunity to actually miss your beloved. After spending some time apart – even a mere day – you will truly enjoy each other’s company.
Spending too much time together can break your relationship. But spend enough time apart and your bond will reap the benefits.
– Sharing, or respectfully understanding, the other’s views is beneficial.
Your views may not always align. In a healthy relationship, these differences aren’t treated with contempt. Instead, such couples strive to maintain an open-minded perspective.
For some, political and societal issues are discussed agreeably. Others may feel one extreme of an issue, and their spouse another. The key lies within a couple’s ability to understand – and ultimately respect – the other’s views. You don’t have to agree, but you should be tolerant.
– Are you and your partner best friends? If so, you’ve hit the jackpot!
For some passion, passion stimulates a relationship. Others attribute this to a dense history with the other person.
In a lasting relationship, the folks involved are best friends.
Like a solid friendship, this relationship exudes happiness. The couple enjoys spending time together, and laugh incessantly at inside jokes. They’re content spending a weekend off together without another person in sight. During a get together, these folks can often be found lost in conversation, laughing over some unknown topic.
Bottom line: they appreciate and love each other like best friends.
Ultimately, these folks wouldn’t have it any other way.
– Loyalty is vital.
Conflicts are bound to arise outside of your relationship. Sadly, such incidents can bring down an otherwise healthy bond.
In healthy relationships, the couple remains loyal. If one is troubled due to an issue with a mutual friend, the other asserts their feelings to the outside party if the circumstance requires it. This couple doesn’t allow one another to break down alone in complicated situations.
Instead, they take on issues together, and remain loyal when the rest of the world is against them. Whether the conflict is with a family member, or a close friend, they stand up for each other.
After all, who else will rise against the grain with you when problems knock at your door?
– Life should make sense with you together.
The manner your life plays out is ultimately based on you. But for a lasting couple, life makes more sense together.
This couple deems the future a more opportune place due to their connection. Considering a life without the other feels odd. Reminiscing on past memories simply enforces the balance of their relationship.
Through unwarranted conflicts and unexpected complications, this couple knows they are better off together. Ultimately, they know life is better when tackled with the other by their side.
Your relationship is unique.
If your bond is meant to last, it was founded on something. Perhaps it was passion. Maybe it was an uncanny ability to openly communicate.
When you hit rough patches, remember what brought you and your partner together. Relish in the qualities that truly ignite your relationship.
Not all connections are meant to last. When you’ve found the right one, hold on tight. Cross difficult bridges when you reach them, and remember that you won’t win every argument.
The manner your relationship reached its current status is a story in itself. Let it play out. Edit things if necessary. In the end, you will be thankful you didn’t let the relationship slide due to a minuscule conflict.
