Sure Signs You Have A Relationship Built To Last

You’re Willing To Compromise For Each Other

Naturally, you should be compatible with your mate, but that does not mean you’re going to love and agree with everything they do, and vice versa - this is where compromise comes into play. Compromise doesn’t necessarily mean you give up your opinion or stance in favor of your partner’s because they’ve persuaded you, or worse, bullied you into seeing their perspective. It means both parties come to a common middle ground where you both are satisfied with the outcome of a situation. Compromise is key in a healthy relationship because if one partner is getting their way for everything, it could easily create resentment and hostility between both partners, which can quickly doom your love.

The thing is, if you truly care and respect your significant other and their happiness, then you would be willing to ensure they remain happy, even if it means you do not get everything you want. Essentially, compromise is necessary for an equal balance between both partner’s needs and wants to keep each other happy and satisfied, not only with the small disagreements but with the bigger issues as well.

You Both Share Common Goals

You want to get married, start a family together, and have a house in a quiet neighborhood in a good school district are all examples of common goals most couples can have. Some couples also want to explore the world together or reach career goals independently but with each other, or get fit together. No matter what the goal is, the key to a sustainable relationship is having common goals both of you are striving for to achieve together. Even if your goals are not the same, they are complementary to each other and both parties are able to support each other with their personal growth. Essentially, your goals work together to make your lives together harmonious.

The thing is you can’t always expect your partner to have the same goals for the future as you do, but it is reasonable to have some common ground and goal you both are working towards to build a life together. When there is no common ground or mutual goal, but one partner is constantly striving for personal development, and the other partner is content and doesn’t want to change, this can easily breed resentment and tension over time.
