No person or relationship is perfect. In a healthy relationship, both partners accept and respect each other, warts and all. Both partners understand that no person can consistently live up to another person’s fantasy of perfection. And that’s OK. You can still be there for each other, providing support, and you can do it without criticism and other forms of negativity. In fact, you being there to fill in your partner’s weak spots, and vice versa, is what the best relationships are all about.
If your relationship displays most of these traits most of the time, you’re probably pretty happy in it, and your partner likely feels the same way. If not, then it may be time to step up your relationship game. Use the list above to identify any shortcomings, and then sit down with your partner to discuss how the two of you can have more fun, improve your communication, and support one another. You’ll be glad you did.
Good points to adhere to if we want a long lasting marriage.
