Signs that you are with the right person

Welcome to 2018! 2018 has kicked off on a high note for me, personally. I am happy to inspire someone who thinks that there is no true love. 

Whether you are entering or hitting a significant milestone, its natural to question whether you have chosen the right partner. Here are some key signs to show you that you are with the right person:

1. They are attentive - Small daily gestures of romance are an important part of a supportive relationship, especially when they align with your personal needs. Having a partner who notices what you need or want in a given moment and responds accordingly bodes well for the long term potential of your relationship. That attention you constantly get from your partner on a daily basis goes a long way for example if they constantly communicate with you via SMS, call or whatever means. 

2. They share your values and goals - While its okay (and perfectly normal) to have different interests from your partner, its important to be on the same page when it comes to long term goals. Differences can be great for balancing out a couple and making things more interesting socially. Prioritize similarities that have long term implications such as a shared desire for marriage or career goals.

3. They respond well to conflict - How you communicate in the heat of an argument can be a telltale sign of the status of your relationship. In fact, the amount of conflict you engage in with your partner does not matter nearly as much as how the argument is handled. In healthy relationships, each partner responds to conflict in a caring and supportive manner. If they listen to what what you are saying, respect where you are coming from, respond to your disclosures by sharing their own thought, feelings, and experiences (without the conversation all about the). then intimacy is more likely to flourish!
