RELATIONSHIPS — ADVICE — SELF IMPROVEMENT
How long will this relationship last?
Here are 15 questions that will show you whether your relationship will last or not
Falling in love is an extraordinary feeling, but it also makes us see our flawed relationships through rose-colored glasses.
In reality, it can be difficult to figure out whether your relationship is permanent or not. Gary W. Lewandowski, a relationship expert, comes up with 15 questions to figure out if your romantic relationship is good for you.
Lewandowski decided to create a list because the most asked question he was asked was, “How do I know if I’m in the right relationship?”
According to Lewandowski, if you can honestly answer “yes” to these questions, which are based on both science-backed data and intuition, it means your relationship is worth continuing.
The questions are:
1. Does your partner make you a better person and do you have the same effect on them?
2. Do you and your partner feel comfortable when sharing your feelings, trusting each other, establishing intimacy, and avoid worrying about the other person leaving?
3. Do you and your partner accept each other as they are, without trying to change them?
4. When disagreements arise, can you communicate with your partner respectfully, without condescension or negativity?
5. Do you share decision-making processes, power and influence in the relationship with your partner?
6. Is your partner your best friend and are you the same for them?
7. Do you think with your partner as “we” rather than “you” and “me”?
8. Do you and your partner trust each other enough to share your mutual social media and bank account passwords?
9. Do you and your partner have good ideas for each other, without being overly positive?
10. Do your close friends and your partner’s close friends think that you have a great relationship that will stand the test of time?
11. Is your relationship immune from the dangers of cheating, jealousy, controlling the other’s behavior?
12. Do you share the same values with your partner when it comes to politics, religion, the importance of marriage, having or not having children, and how to parent?
13. Are you ready to sacrifice your own needs, desires and goals for each other (without a mat)?
14. Do you and your partner have emotionally stable and agreeable personalities?
15. Are you sexually compatible with your partner?
According to Lewandowski, if you answer “no” to these questions, this is bad news; your relationship will likely succumb to time because “Just because it’s good doesn’t mean it’s a good relationship.”
But the good news is that breakups can be a positive thing. Because, according to Lewandowski, “Staying in a bad relationship is the worst thing that can happen to you.”
