It may sounds obvious, but how many people have you known that have been with the wrong person? I do not mean that you find a perfect match. No relationship is perfect. i am just talking about the really wrong one!
The perfect match starts from a person who has a similar interests like you if that is possible it may be a good start else you'll be doomed to walk the rest of your life in regret.
If you have two opposing views on every topic and struggle doing what the other likes to do, then you are on a tremulous path.
2. Forgiveness
It has to be there. Forgiveness is what keeps a relationship going. Even the most terrible ones! If they are too terrible and you can't forgive the one you love, then you might actually not be in love.
When couples start accusing each other it means that the relationship has started to fall apart and the end becomes a bit clear.
If your partner loses it and says something nasty to you, shake it off. Everyone has mood swings and if they actually love you they needn't prove things to you .
3. Flexibility
Healthy relationships depend on each partner being flexible.Every relationship is a give and take relationship. One of you might not like shopping but it doesn't men that you don't shop together.
It should be this way throughout your life. No one should keep score like, "I did 'x' amount with you and did what you wanted to do, but you haven't done 'x' with me and what I want to do yet!"
Its all about spending some time together with your partner and it is fun.
4. Communication
The biggest issue that i would is lack of communication between partners which leads to mis understanding.
Make sure you don't keep things burning inside you else there will be a time that they will burn out. If there is something bothering you, speak up!
And if you did something wrong, please talk to the other about it; remember I talked about forgiveness earlier in this article? Certainly you don't want your partner to find something out through the grapevine and from another party! Then forgiveness will be harder to come by.
Keep the communication channels open by all ways and spend some time with your partner everyday talking about how did the day went.
5. Plan Your Life Together
To keep your relationship healthy, make sure you plan and do things together. This includes both short term and long term.
plan your evenings, your weekend, your summer holidays, your life in fact.
Plan your coming year, your goals and dreams. When you move taking your partner along life becomes so easy and fun that even the troubled times pass you by quickly. So you must keep these points in mind in order to overcome any problems that you and your partner are facing with each other.
