We all aspire for that perfect relationship that would stand forever, with no problems, fights, misunderstandings and all that, but the truth is that doesn’t exist anywhere. What makes a relationship bond strong, is the ability to agree in disagreement, and understand in misunderstandings.

While no one can predict what the future holds, there are a few indicators that can help you determine whether or not your relationship is made to last.

So in this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at 7 major signs your relationship will stand the test of time.

1. You Have Your Own Space

Just because you’re in love doesn’t mean you have to spend every moment together. Taking time to pursue your interests and friendships keeps your relationship fresh and gives you both the opportunity to grow as individuals, and developing as a couple at the same time.

2. You Settle Your Differences

Disagreements are normal, so if you aren’t fighting, chances are you’re holding back. But when people in healthy relationships fight, they fight productively and fairly. That means avoiding name-calling or put-downs. It also means striving to understand your partner instead of trying to score points. And when you’re wrong? You apologize.

3. You Make Decisions Together

You don’t call all the shots. Neither does your partner. From what movie to see to how many children to have, you make decisions together and listen to each other’s concerns and desires. Sure, this may mean your partner decides you both watch Transformers on Saturday night, but on Sunday night, you get to pick a movies of your own.

4. You Find Joy

Healthy relationships are full of laughter and fun. This doesn’t mean you’re giddy every hour of the day or that she doesn’t drive you up the wall sometimes, but it means that your life together is mostly happy in sometimes simple ways.

5. You Find Balance

Sometimes your partner needs to work longer hours while you play chauffeur and chief cook. Or you must devote time to an elderly parent while your spouse tackles the chores. That’s life. What matters is that, in the long run, your trade-offs seem fair.

6. You Trust Each Other

Healthy relationships are built on trust and commitment to communication without reservations or secrets. If you have found that 100% trust in your partner, and he/she has done the same, believe it, your bond would stand the test of time.

7. You Open Up To Your Partner First Before Others

When you have issues and concerns, you share them with your partner, not your Facebook friends. You can use pals as a sounding board, of course, but not as a crutch to avoid hard conversations with your significant other.
