Many people have faulty relationships, not because they want to be in one, but they build the wrong kind of relationship.
When you build the right kind of relationship then every other thing would fall into place.
So what are the qualities your relationship should have?
1. LOVE
Love is a catalyst and the foundation upon which a successful and happy relationship is built. To be truly happy in your relationship, you ought to be with a partner you truly love and one who truly loves you in return. This is the basis of what a relationship should stand for, and with this, you can easily build the next nine points.
2. FRIENDSHIP
When love and friendship is present in your relationship then happiness would be a surety. You shouldn’t only share love with your partner but be best of friends.
3. HONESTY
Honesty is another important structure to build your relationship on. This means those little lies that you think don’t matter actually matters and shouldn’t be present in your relationship.
4. FAITHFULNESS
Faithfulness should also be a non-negotiable factor in your relationship; cheating on your partner would only ruin your relationship. For trust to exist in your relationship, honesty and faithfulness are actually needed.
5. SHARED PURPOSE
When two partners have a common purpose, their relationship would be bliss. Working together, failing together, succeeding together, planning together and dreaming together would only help increase the bond in the relationship.
6. UNDERSTANDING
Understanding is also another important element that should be present in a relationship. Empathy, putting yourself in your partner’s shoes, selflessness, not trying to be overly controlling would help build understanding in your relationship.
7. PATIENCE
This is another important tool that’s needed in every relationship. With patience, it’s easier to build an understanding relationship and love also needs patience to grow. Patience just helps make every other thing tick.
8. COMMUNICATION
This piece would be incomplete if communication is missing. Communication is what makes understanding possible and you know a relationship without understanding is destined to fail. Couples understand each other better when they know how to communicate with each other.
9. LOYALTY
Whether you know this or not, when you agree to be in a relationship or marriage with someone, you indirectly promise that person loyalty. Couples have to stay true and loyal to each other if they are to have a successful relationship.
10. TOGETHERNESS
Imagine a relationship where love, friendship and togetherness exist; happiness would definitely be the outcome. Couples who do things together stay together.
