60 percent of Americans believe in the idea of soulmates. Whether you are convinced that there is some grand plan for who we will end up with or you think it’s all a coincidence, there is a long list of must-haves for a successful relationship.
Wondering if you have finally met the one? Continue reading to learn 10 signs you’ve found the one!
1. Communication
Communication may very well be one of the most important qualities when finding the one. This is key to all relationships in your life. It will help you share your feelings, build bonds, show support, and address conflict easily.
2. Trust
Trusting your life partner is more than just knowing they won’t be disloyal to you. You can trust that they will be there for you, protect your feelings, and continue to deliver consistently.
3. Emotional Connection
Most relationships need to have some form of sexual connection, but that shouldn’t be all there is. Before making a marriage commitment you should be 100% sure that you are connected on a deeper level. This is the person that you will share all of your feelings, wins, and loses with throughout life.
You should feel like you’re in love as well. Some people even experience something called ‘limerence.”
4. Respect
Respect is a two-way street and it’s vital to a healthy marriage. You should feel that they understand your boundaries, wishes, goals, and what makes you you! Even when you get into a disagreement, both of you should be able to recognize and respect that you are two separate humans who have differing opinions.
5. Future Thinking
If you find yourselves planning for years ahead, then you may have just found the one. It’s always best to know that you are both on the same page about where your lives are headed.
6. Acceptance
When you and your partner fully accept each other and continue to love unconditionally, you might have found your soulmate. If you can get over the fact that they set four-hundred alarms in the morning, or even find charm in it, that is acceptance.
7. Teamwork
Teamwork is truly a must-have in your partner for life because it takes a lot of work to make it through sometimes. How do you find that you accomplish stressful tasks? When the answer is easy, then you will be able to set yourselves up for success.
8. Independence
While being a team is essential, you also must be independent at times. A healthy relationship is when two separate people can form a bond while understanding that they are their own person. You should be able to support each other yet enjoy things independently.
9. Family and Friends
Whether you have a big or small family/group of friends, there is nothing like adding in someone that meshes well. You can probably already tell how your inner circle feels about your person. This is a great way to find a (somewhat) unbiased opinion on how your relationship is.
10. Conflict Resolution
Not every relationship is perfect and you are bound to find yourselves in an argument at some point. However, it is important to note how well you can solve your issues.
