Introduction: Gentle care, sincere commitment, sweet getting along... In the period of hot love, you always fantasize about being able to last a long time. However, a relationship that goes on for a long time must have the following characteristics.
01 Make decisions together
Of course, you don't have to discuss what to wear in the morning or what bread to bring to work. However, when it comes to a house, children, or a job change, it's best to negotiate and decide together. Be aware of "us", not "me" as the center.
02 Will defend the other side
Someone said bad things about your lover? Roar! Of course, your best friend can criticize you. And you can also complain about your lover from time to time. But the basic rule is that saying bad things about the other person is a breach of trust, indicating that the relationship is still not strong enough.
03 Have a common plan for the future
Kids, houses, global travel? Your ideas about the future should at least be fundamentally consistent. For example, if one of you wants kids and the other doesn't, things will be hard. The more similar your plans are, the better it will be for the relationship!
04 Find comfort in each other
Even if your partner can't take on the role of therapist: it's important that you talk honestly about your problems – and do! Because if you handle the trouble yourself, your partner will quickly associate your bad mood with him. A quarrel is inevitable.
05 Have similar values
See the world through similar eyes and set priorities in a similar way – this is very important for a relationship! Because only in this way can you live in harmony like husband and wife. Of course, this does not mean that you always have to hold the same view. That would be boring...
06 Love your friends and family
Visiting each other's parents is never a problem – is his friend yours too? This eliminates a potential, very common cause of quarrels. It saves you a lot of trouble and makes your relationship closer!
07 Maintain a sense of ceremony in love
Subtle attention in everyday life is essential to feelings! Sweet love words at home, toothbrushes for each other to squeeze in toothpaste or goodnight kisses every day – all of these show day in and day out: we all love each other, we are one, we are a team.
