Naturally, you want your relationship to last and withstand any obstacles life throws at you two lovebirds, right? If so, look for these definite signs and qualities the right partner for you should possess to keep your relationship strong, stable, and thriving!

You Have Mutual Respect

No relationship can thrive - or even survive for that matter - without mutual respect for each other. No explanation is truly necessary, but where there is no respect, there is no love. Respect includes being receptive and respecting your significant other’s emotions, opinions, autonomy, and life goals, which are fundamental elements for a lasting, and more importantly, healthy relationship. Respect is the very foundation for creating honesty, trust, friendship, intimacy, and love for your partner, which all grows from it. As the golden rule states, "treat others the way you would want to be treated." To put it simply, respect your partner the way you want them to respect you. If you have no respect for each other and your mental and physical well-being, how do you expect to thrive as a couple? You can’t, hence why respect is the primary element of every solid, long-lasting relationship.

You Have Faith In Each Other

Not only do you have faith in each other and that you both will stay committed to your relationship, but you have confidence in yourself too.

Having faith includes knowing your partner will always be there for you, through the joyful and challenging times, but also that they will not cheat on you, whether it is physically or emotionally, and fully committing yourself to that one person and nobody else. If you have faith in each other and loyalty is something you both highly respect and follow, your relationship is destined to remain healthy and stable, and more than likely will last a lifetime.
