When we talk about couples, we often focus on the bad, what does not work, or those situations that do not allow a relationship to be successful. But just as when you are in a toxic relationship there are signs of it, when you are in an excellent relationship there are also signs.
Understanding what makes a positive, successful and happy couple, helps them repeat behaviors that are positive and turn them into habits.
There is reciprocity: This is one of the first signs of a healthy and happy relationship. When there is reciprocity, support and understanding in a couple to know that they must be for each other, it is proof that it is a successful and strong relationship.
There are details: Details are very important in a couple. When those little everyday gestures that are not planned are present in a relationship, there is an emotional reward that feeds the couple, also the fact that we want to do something for our partner, which is not planned, shows that it is present for us at all times and its importance.
Just as we focus on the negative aspects we must also do it with the positive aspects
There are common goals: In a successful relationship everyone has the possibility of having their own goals, however it is important that not only those goals are compatible but, in addition, there are goals that should be common. A couple that has a healthy and successful relationship is one who is capable of having goals that are important for their growth as a couple.
Individuality is respected: A relationship is two people who are living together, however within that coexistence there is individuality and differences, which we must respect. When we do it, it is not only a sign of emotional maturity, but it is also a very mature way of acting.
We tend to focus on the bad, on the negative things of a relationship, but when we focus our vision on the positive aspects then we realize that we are able to find situations that show us that our relationship is on track.
