There is nothing quite like falling in
love, you feel like you’re on cloud nine and nothing can stop you from spending
the rest of your life adoring that one person. Unfortunately for most of us,
that initial wave of emotions is short-lived, being in a long-term relationship
is not all about the movie moments and after a while, those feelings morph into
something more sustainable in the long run. Knowing when you’ve found the
perfect partner for you isn’t as straightforward as you may think, here are 5
signs that your current partner is your perfect match.
1. You Still Get Butterflies
There is slim to no chance that the initial
wave of excitement and intensity will be sustainable in a long-term
relationship – it simply doesn’t fit with the science of falling in love. Those
feelings will subside and one day, during a
road trip with your spouse, you’ll look back and realise that it happened
without you even noticing it. You should still get excited to see your partner
and those giant butterflies you had in your tummy, in the beginning, should
still be there - just less of them.
2. You Communicate Well
Communication is key in any successful
relationship, if your partner is a perfect match for you then communication
will be fluid. This might not happen at first but don’t despair, if they are
your perfect match then you will soon learn how best to talk to communicate
with each other. An ISFP in
relationships is often highly observant so if you’re lucky enough to be in
a relationship with one of these personalities then communication will be
easier.
3. You Trust Each Other
Trust is vital in a successful
relationship, and it is very different from control – it is quite the opposite.
Trusting
your partner means that even though you don’t always know what they are
doing or who they are talking to, it doesn’t matter. Remember that trust is
earned so if you have your partner’s implicit trust you should never do
anything that breaks that trust.
4. You Value Each Other
Perfect partners never take each other for
granted but we don’t always live in a perfect world. If you value your partner,
then they will always be at the forefront of your mind and every action you
take will be for the both of you. Show your partner that you truly
value them by doing small, romantic things for them often such as making
them breakfast in bed or leaving a cute note on the fridge – it’s the small
things in relationships that count the most.
5. You Grow Together
As we get older, our priorities change and
we change with them. You can’t expect for your partner to stay the same as the
day you first started dating – it simply isn’t possible. The important part is
that you grow together as a couple, not apart. If you do find yourself growing
apart from your partner, then they aren’t a perfect match for you. Couple
growth is equally as important as personal growth.
