Sure Signs You Have A Relationship Built To Last

Intimacy Is Alive & Thriving

Intimacy doesn’t just involve sex, but rather a deeper connection and understanding of your significant other that is satisfying for both partners. Not only should the physical intimacy you share with your partner make both parties feel desired, loved, and generally good about themselves and the relationship - but it also shouldn’t be one-sided. Having mutual physical intimacy that is satisfying for both partners is a fantastic way to know your partnership is on track for success.

However, this goes beyond just intercourse and involves intimacy and your bond in a variety of ways, such as affectionately greeting each other with a kiss and hug, holding hands when you’re out in public, or cuddling on the couch. These are all simple ways to build intimacy that creates a strong connection between both partners. Even just thinking about your partner and appreciating them in small ways can make a dramatic difference, and communicate to them that you do love them and think about them throughout your day. Remember, if you treat your partner as well as you treated them when you started dating, the relationship is bound to last and continue to thrive!

You Both Put In Effort

Real relationships are hard work, and if anyone tells you any differently, they probably have never been in a long-term relationship. This doesn’t mean a mutual bond between two people can’t be easy to establish and maintain. However, no two people are the same or have the same journey to take. A lasting relationship that can withstand any obstacle in its course will require effort from both partners to make it work, and not just be one-sided. If both partners can endure money difficulties, illnesses, family issues, or life-altering experiences that result in high levels of stress, and continue to show support and love towards each other proves the relationship is destined to last.

The small things you do for your partner also mean the most and is a beautiful way to continue to put effort into the relationshipand show your partner that you love them without a special occasion prompting you to do so. The truth is thatgreat partnerships are not just about give and take but about give and give, meaning you consistently give and support each other, not just continually ending up in a power struggle, questioning if you truly are appreciated and loved. By continuous doing little things for your significant other to show them you love and care about them, you’re keeping the spark alive and allowing your relationship to thrive.
