Psychologists reveal 10 signs that tell you how long a relationship will last

It’s impossible to know if a relationship will work for life. In general, the ideal is to think that the relationship is eternal while it lasts. But it is possible to make predictions according to how things happen in their initial stage. There are some signs that indicate if a relationship is really harmonious and will last a long time. That’s what American physician Gleb Tsipursky, co-founder of the Pro Truth Pledge, a non-profit organization that promotes rational thinking and decision-making, highlighted.

Let’s review some of these signs so you can speculate how long your relationship will last.

Of course, these studies are always controversial and should not be decisive in the way we live. The ideal is to always look at each situation as unique.

All the time we need to face stressful situations. Both small situations and important events demand our immediate reaction. In any of them it is important that the couple is in tune and complement each other.

This helps to avoid irritation. For example, if you are impulsive and explosive in stressful situations, the ideal is for the other person to be calm and calm, so that decisions can be made through balance. Simplifying a little is the famous ‘in joy and sadness’, of marriage.

In an adult relationship people have their own opinions, preferences and points of view. They may or may not coincide, but the important thing is that they understand that each other’s thoughts and feelings are not always the same, regardless of love.

Never make a decision for both of you, and don’t pretend to second-guess the other person’s wishes. Always ask, so that the relationship remains strong and harmonious.

This point is a consequence of the previous one. Don’t expect the other person to read your mind. Be open and honest with your loved one, and share your feelings and concerns with them.

For example, if you want a hug, say so. Don’t wait. But remember that your role is to express a desire. The other person is free to act as he wants according to his wishes.

If you are always together, in time all activities will become routine. In this context, the other person will also be part of the boredom routine.

It is important not only to devote time and effort to hobbies, but also to find common interests. Set aside a day or two to do something different with your loved one. Scientists have come to the conclusion that the new pleasant impressions we experience next to the loved one help to preserve the relationship.

Your goals, dreams and plans don’t have to be identical, but it’s important that your goals and ideas are minimally similar.

If you intend to dedicate 40 years to career alone, while the other person dreams of having children as soon as possible, it’s probably better that you two have a good conversation. It is necessary to talk about each one’s priorities to assess whether a life together is possible.

Friends are a fundamental part of anyone’s life. To renounce them means losing something very valuable, and happiness itself. It is important that friends are treated well, even when the other person’s friend is not a very special person to you.

This behavior indicates maturity and care for the loved one.

Family members are a fundamental part of a person’s life. Therefore, a good relationship with the family is the key for the relationship to work.

If you always argue with someone else’s parents, you will be sowing fertile ground for conflict between you.

In terms of arguments, ‘healthy’ conflicts are part of a good relationship. If you start dating someone you never argue with about anything, in the first fight it could explode.

Instead, try to understand the strategies that will help resolve conflicts and talk about them with the other person.

Nothing worse than living with someone who belittles our achievements and doesn’t know how to value our effort.

Couples who live in harmony and are happy for each other’s successes always move forward together as a team.

Of course, dotting the ‘is’ is correct, but don’t forget about commitments. If the couple doesn’t know how to give in to the other’s wishes, a series of unhealthy conflicts will happen.

People can describe relationships and love in very different ways. But there are at least two types of relationship with respect to love:

Type 1: perfect drive Type 2: love-trip

In the first case, the lovers look at each other as if the other were the other half of the orange. They come to think that one was made for the other. In the second case, those in love do not look for commonalities or different points, but focus on the events that they lived together. In other words, on the path they managed to walk together, side by side.

Scientists think that couples of the second type have a better chance of building a harmonious and lasting relationship, as they are willing to overcome difficulties and do not expect the other person to be perfect.

These 10 signs are indicators that reveal a harmonious and strong relationship. But don’t forget that happiness is in your hands, and only you know what to do to make your relationship work.
