You’re in a strong relationship.
It’s no secret that a lot of people are always going to wonder about the states of their relationships with their significant others. They will look and see the failed relationships that are all around them and they will wonder if they are in the kind of relationship that actually has the strength to carry on. It’s perfectly normal to get nervous about the state of your relationship especially when you consider that even your closest friends and family have tried being in broken relationships. And breakups are never easy. You know this because you have personally witnessed the destruction that it wreaks on the people involved. And so you always want to make sure that you would never have to put yourself through that kind of traumatic experience by ensuring that your romance is strong and far from dying.
But how can you tell for sure if you’re in a good relationship or in a rotten one? Now, no two relationships will ever be the same. All relationships will carry very distinct personalities and so it can be very difficult to generalize what constitutes a good and strong relationship or a weak and fragile one. Each relationship is going to be different because all human beings are different. We are all unique individuals who have very special qualities about us that we bring to the relationship dynamic. And the character of the relationship as a whole is a direct result of how two people can merge their personalities into a single entity.
Now sometimes, the merging of two personalities won’t always go so well. And that’s why a lot of couples become dysfunctional over the course of time even though things started out great. As you get deeper into a relationship, you really start to reveal your true selves to one another. And in those times, incompatible personalities will start to find problems in the dynamics of their relationship. They will start to realize that perhaps the relationship isn’t going to be as easy as they initially thought it would be. And when that happens, everything starts go downhill.
But on the other side of the spectrum, there are those relationships that act like fine wine. They get better with age. The longer that a couple stays together, the stronger that their love for one another becomes. It’s a beautiful thing to behold. These are the couples who were compatible to begin with and who always made it a point to work on their love and to continually strengthen their relationship. These are the kinds of couples who are really built to last. And if you’re wondering where your relationship falls on this spectrum, then you just have to keep an eye out for the signs. Think that your relationship has what it takes to go all the way? Then check if your relationship is applicable to any of the signs that are listed on here.
1. You are both able to freely express yourselves in the relationship.
You always give each other the platform that you both need to express yourselves. You are both always made to feel like you can be completely honest with one another. You don’t censor each other and you never hold anything back because you always want to promote openness in the relationship.
2. You both give each other space and independence.
You always respect each other’s individuality and you would never want to overstep your boundaries. You are both a loving couple, but you both still make sure that you have your individual lives going on
3. You don’t feel the need to make the relationship any different than what it is.
You don’t force yourselves to adhere to whatever standards society may have set for you. You know your relationship well and you are perfectly comfortable with how you do things as a couple. You care more about how you see one another than how others would see you.
