1. They Are Your Cheerleader.

Too often, individuals start dating just because they want to fill a void in their own lives or meet their own needs. While there is nothing wrong with dating just to have fun, it is certainly not a sign of a lasting relationship! A truly significant symptom of a long-lasting relationship is two individuals who want the best for each other. If you are dating someone who cheers you forward and wants you to find success, then it’s a clear sign that they deserve a lasting place in your life.

Too often, partners attempt to hold one another back because, rather than being driven by love, their motives are based on jealousy. Men especially struggle in this area since they may feel intimidated by a woman who out-performs them. While this is understandable, there is no room for the green-eyed monster in a lasting relationship. Rather than being focused on being number one, a true soulmate will make you as important a priority as themselves. If your boy- or girlfriend gives you a helping hand when needed, pushes you to better yourself, and encourages you to see the best in yourself, then you have found a keeper!

2. They Accept and Love You As You Are.

Too often, people enter relationships with an underlying desire to change the other person and morph them into someone else. If your boy- or girlfriend loves you as you are, then they are truly a treasure! While it’s understandable that a partner will want you to continue to better yourself and improve, they should love you without reservation. You shouldn’t have to earn someone’s acceptance and affection; instead, that should be given freely simply because they appreciate you as you truly are.

Watch for red flags such as a partner who is constantly picking on your every action, expressing disgust at the way that you do things. Your body, thoughts, opinions, interests, and things you enjoy should not be something to be dissected and changed. You should be appreciated for the person that you are; you should not be expected to change simply to be what a boy- or girlfriend wants.

3. They Expect Nothing in Return.

This is the final sign that you should be looking for if you want to know if a relationship is going to be long-lasting. A partner who will be in your life forever should give you love without expecting anything in return.

While you should do kind things for your boy- or girlfriend, you should not do these things simply because they are expected of you. Rather than being a give-and-take situation, a relationship should be about each person giving each other one-hundred percent simply because they love the other person.

Whether you’ve found your lifelong partner or not, you can still use these three universal signs to stay on the lookout for the person that you will share your life with. While you’re waiting for your true love to appear, you can work on yourself by trying to cultivate these three important qualities. Work on becoming more loving, caring, and supportive of those that are in your life.
