Relationships are tricky especially in the 21st century. All around us, people are fighting and surviving in the dating jungle and every now and then, a winner appears. Yes, perfect relationships are very rare but they’re not an impossibility. The age we live in, verbal commitments and even contractual commitments such as marriages are not an accurate indicator of a right relationship. Instead, there are countless factors that play an important role when it comes to identifying the right relationship and in order to enlighten our readers, we have drawn up a list of those indicators
-
You and your partner do not fear commitments
Certainty is the foundation of every good relationship. You and your partner are not at all afraid to commit to one another and provide each other with the certainty. All of us need an anchor in this high-stress world and nothing identifies a good relationship quite like a solid commitment does.
-
You and your partner do not hide things from one another
Trust, is another important foundation when it comes to lasting love. You know it is a right relationship where there is absolute trust and you always tell each other every significant thing. In fact, you two have blind belief in the words of one another. How can a relationship not be perfect when there is unconditional trust between the partners?
-
Snooping
Along with the trust, you and your partner respect one another’s privacy. There is no snooping of any kind in your relationship and all of the personal boundaries are respected. Even if your partner leaves his or her phone behind, there is no temptation to go through the emails and messages because you know, that there is nothing you do not know about your partner’s life.

Proud of the relationship
Both of you are proud of your relationship and you do not try to hide it from the people. All of your close family and friends know about the relationship.

Losing yourself.
Yes, your relationship is one of the most important aspects of your life but neither you, nor your partner let it become the only aspect. Both of you still work, exercise, socialize and volunteer like you used to before getting into a relationship. If anything, your relationship is an integration to your life and not your whole reason to live. It is one of the things that motivate you to do things but it certainly is not the only thing that motivates you in life.
-
No Plan B
Right relationships have no plan B. You and your partner do not keep a plan B in case the relationship doesn’t work out.

Drama and Attention seeking

Gifts
You two are always giving one another gifts. They do not have to be expensive and often, they are not.

However, forgiveness and letting go is one of the biggest indicators of a perfect relationship. If your partner lets go of the things that are said in anger, you are in a great relationship!
