When it comes to relationships and how to make them last, you may be a bit confused. Maybe your special guy has done everything that you've dreamed of and you're quite sure that you're made for one another and that you're going to lastHowever, if you've not been in a relationship for a while, or if you've thought things were going well when they really weren't, you may find that it's hard to tell.
Then again, you need to remember that each and every couple is different. They have their own perks and quirks and work with one another a certain way. These are just a few examples of what you should look for:
1. You Have Time for Each Other
Let's face itwe barely have time for ourselves, let alone time for other people. The last thing that some people can manage along with their busy schedules is casual dating let alone a relationship. However, it isn't quite as difficult as you might imagine.
2. You're Have the Same Age (or very mentally compatible)
Those who have close age proximity are shown to have fewer problems as far as relationships goit has even been proven through studies. However, if you are mentally compatible, then you may find that the relationship will last despite your age differences.
3. He's a Long-Term Kind of Guy.
If he's known for flings and the like, chances are it won't last. But if he's the kind of guy who likes longer relationships and lasts a long time, you may find that your current relationship will last a much longer time.
4. You're Sexually Compatible.
If he likes one thing and you like another, you may be less likely to last. However, if that is one of the many highlights of your relationship, that is another indication that it might last a bit longer. Keep this in mind as you get to that point in your relationship.
5. You're Good Friends.
If you already know quite a bit about one another and have known each other for quite a while, there is a much bigger chance that you will last. This is especially true if you have already talked to one another about what you expect from a relationship before you both actually got together.
6. You Know What His future Plans Are.
If you already know what he wants to do in life and you know if those plans are things that you would like to be included in/ you have similar goals, then there is a higher chance that your relationship will last. Don't force him to tell you what his plans arechances are that it will only put unnecessary strain on the relationship and make it hard to communicate.
7. You Are Going in the Same Direction
You both want similar things from one another and you both want the relationship to go in the same direction. This is something that is important in any relationship. If either of you are at a different stage/have different goals, it may be quite a bit harder to stay in the relationship.
8. You're Supported by Your Family and FriendsOn Both Sides!
If you have family and friends who are supporting you and willing to give you advice about what you should both do, it can be a bit more helpful than if you are both dealing with some things you've never experienced with just each other. Ask them for advice and see if it helpsit may help you to both see just how compatible you are and what potential your relationship could have
9. You Love Each Other
If you're both in love with one another, this is the biggest indication that you'll last. Let's face ittrue love is a rare thing and not everyone finds it. But if you do, there's a good chance that you'll do whatever you can in order to stay in the relationship anyways. Keep in mind that love isn't always the miracle solution and that loving someone won't make your problems go away, nor their flaws. However, it will make them more bearable.
