Here are a few things to check, from the relationship experts at Lifetime magazine--
- First, some things should still make your heart race--The sound of their laugh, their key in the lock, their lips on your cheek.
- Next, you should feel totally relaxed, entirely at home, and completely yourself around your partner.
- Also, do you feel connected to each other? You should feel glad when they're happy, comforted by their support, and be able to trust them, even if they don't tell you every 10 minutes how wonderful you are.
- Research found that one of the best ways to tell if your relationship will last is the ability to laugh together. You should be chuckling with each other at least once a day--And watching movies or sitcoms doesn't count.
- And the final way to tell whether your relationship has a rosy future is--How willing are you to do whatever it takes to succeed? If you can bend to suit your partner, and they can stretch to accommodate you, then your relationship is pretty darn healthy and the future looks good.
