It's no secret that we all strive for healthy, happy and harmonious relationships.
But what kind of relationship is this and how do you know that you are already living in it?
Together with psychologist Ksenia Matur, we examine five signs that everything is fine in your relationship.
I would like to immediately note that a happy and harmonious relationship is the result of the interaction of two people, the ability to speak and hear each other, respect the opinions and choices of the partner, the ability to negotiate and find solutions.
There is no single universal recipe for everyone; each family will have its own.
What are the signs that everything is going well in a relationship?
1. You feel happy and satisfied in your relationship, you enjoy life, you go home with pleasure and desire.
You are full of energy in life in general. Everyone has moments of energy decline and rise, but in general - you are full of energy and thirst for life.
You feel comfortable and make plans for your future together.
2. You love your partner, respect him, appreciate him, want to spend time with him, wait for your partner, want to see and hear him.
His opinion is very important to you, you try to take it into account when making decisions, and you know how to negotiate.
3. You feel loved, respected and valued. You have warm feelings and sensations in your relationships.
You feel that you are expected, heard, loved, appreciated, your opinion is taken into account. Compliments, pleasant words, touches from your partner are enough for you.
4. There is trust, safety, security in your relationship. You don't have to pretend to be someone else. Or pretend that everything is fine (if it is not), you can be yourself with each other.
Sincerity and honesty in relationships are very important, this is the foundation of a trusting and safe relationship.
5. Your intimate relationships satisfy both of you.
This area is an integral and important part of a couple’s relationship and there should be a place for it.
Your temperaments are quite compatible and you are both satisfied with the frequency and quality of your intimacy.
Of course, we are all living people and we tend to experience different feelings and live through different periods of life.
And at some moments we can get irritated, angry and even hate our partner, this is normal.
It is important that most of the time you are satisfied with your relationship and the quality of your life together!
