How quickly you forgive each other.As humans, we are massively flawed.
On average, a human being makes at least two mistakes a day.
What counts in a relationship is how quickly you forgive each others mistakes.
My grandmother always said, Dont go to bed angry with each other.
This is excellent advice for a long-lasting, loving relationship.
How you respond to each other under pressure.The truth is that relationships are made through a trial by fire.
It either burns you alive or it forges you.
Your partners response under pressure should balance yours.
If you panic easily, they need to be reassuring or vice versa.
How much expectation you put on each other.Expectations are the leading cause of relationships falling apart.
And of course they let us down.
You cant expect someone to defeat all of their flaws simply because you are in their life.
You cant expect the moon and the sun from them, either.
How secure you are in your relationship with each other.Jealousy is the worst.
First of all, it makes the other person believe you dont trust them, and that hurts.
And secondly, it reduces the other person to feeling like they are a possession.
How you treat each others friends.It is extremely important to keep your friendships outside of your relationships.
So it is important that you treat each others friends well.
Accept them as a part of your other halfs life and make them feel welcome.
How well you celebrate each others successes.
There is nothing worse than being with someone who is insecure about your success.
As a partner, you are supposed to feel pleased and happy when your other half achieves something.
You are supposed to celebrate it, not pull them down and make them feel unhappy about it.
How much space you give each other.This is an extremely important one.
There is evolution in solitude.
How well you grow together.This is an essential one for long-term relationships.
If one person is growing faster than the other, inevitably they will part ways.
If you see yourself evolving faster than your other half, the relationship simply will not last much longer.
