Happy couples don’t necessarily need a true love test to determine if their relationship will last, but there are ways to make them go right. There are some habits of happy couples, to help new partners interact in healthy ways and prepare them for a good, long relationship together.
One of the most important habits for couples in new relationships is to “start as they mean to go.” That is, happy couples create healthy ways of interacting from the very beginning, and deliberately seek to keep interacting in positive, loving ways. The key is to find the healthiest ways to interact as a couple.
Happy couples share common interests in their relationship, such as belonging to a sport game team, volunteering together, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. Common interests that both partners enjoy encourage positive communication and fun, and strengthen their sense of connection.
It's important not to feell lonely in the relationship - this is one of the most important tests of true love. If neither partner feels alone or lonely in the relationship, they are much more likely to make their love last. Feelings of loneliness can occur if one partner works all the time or refuses to discuss "heart" topics, such as feelings, thoughts, or plans and hopes for the future.
Though spending time on mutual interests is important in relationships, so is maintaining a strong sense of self-identity. Each partner must have his or her own life, separate from life as a couple. A new couple can test true love by incorporating shared activities and individual interests, and noticing if both partners are still happy and fulfilled.
Some couples in new relationships forgive and forget hurts immediately, while others hold on to them. What is one of the best ways to create a happy, healthy, long-term love relationship? Let go of the pain a partner has caused if the partner has sincerely apologized.
Avoid love and relationship stereotypes imposed from TV - some couples may be caught up in romantic fairy tale love, and not realize that real relationships go through three stages of love. To create true love that lasts, avoid comparing real-life relationships with the stereotypical images of love and couples in television shows.
People in new relationships may not have had the chance to make friends with other couples and create strong “relationship friends.” But, interacting with other couples who have shared interests can help ground a new couple in their relationship and give them a healthy, fun outlet for activities with other people. This isn’t really a test for true love – it’s a sign of a happy couple!
Don’t lose hope in a new love relationship if these seven qualities of happy couples aren’t present! Healthy love like this can be created and nurtured, if both partners are willing.
