 Hey Psych2goers, do you ever wonder if your relationship with your partner is a healthy one? Maybe you know it is and sometimes it feels like it was simply destined to be. You ask yourself, was this meant to be? Well, here are six signs your relationship was indeed really meant to be. Number one, you work together on some things. How often do you work together with your partner on certain things? Maybe you work together on a project for your home or maybe you give them advice and feedback on something they're working on. If the both of you work with each other and look out for both of your needs, you likely have a pretty strong relationship. A good partner will be your biggest fan. They'll cheer you on and may try things they've never done before, all because they love you. They want to support you. If your partner is supportive and you're supportive of them, then this is a healthy sign. Number two, you share the same kind of humor. Do you and your partner have the same kind of sense of humor? Humor can be a great tool for bonding. If you and your partner share inside jokes and crack each other up often, then this is a good sign your relationship is on the right track. You may laugh at the same kinds of jokes or perhaps you enjoy the same comedy movies, but if you find yourself laughing with your partner more than you usually do, this could be yet another sign that it is meant to be. Number three, you can't help but think of your partner when you're not around them. When you're away from your partner, do you often still think of them? You miss them. And you can't wait to see them again. This can be a sign your love is especially strong. A study from researchers at Stony Brook University found that how much you think about your partner may reflect how much more and love you feel. The study states, Importantly, correlates of long-term intense love as predicted by theory were thinking positively about the partner and thinking about the partner when apart. Affectionate behaviors and sexual intercourse shared novel and challenging activities and general life happiness. Participants who stated that they thought about their partner when away from them were found to have said they felt more in love as well. Makes sense, right? So if you find yourself thinking about your partner when you're not around them, it could be a symptom of true love. And speaking of things meant to be, if you often forget to make a cup of coffee in the morning or are frustrated by the selection at your grocery store, you'll love our sponsor for this video, Trade Coffee.

Number four, respect for each other. Do you respect your partner? Do they respect you? This is a sign of a healthy relationship. Clinical psychologist Franklin A. Porter explains that true respect for your partner is when your partner understands and accepts that you are, first and foremost, a unique individual. Basically, you're your own person and you have your own desires, needs and things going on in your life. It's not always a combo pack type of situation. Number five, you communicate well with each other. Do you communicate with your partner? Are you honest and open about your feelings? This is extremely important for a healthy relationship. Not only should you open up to your partner about what you're truly feeling or any concerns you may have to, but you should also actively listen to what they're telling you about themselves as well. Communicate honestly and listen genuinely and your relationship may be set on the right path. And number six, you trust each other. Of course, trust. Ask yourself, how much do you trust your partner? If you've been with your partner a while and you know they're there for you when times get tough and have always been honest, you likely trust them. But if you find yourself questioning their behaviors or intentions, it's a good idea to ask yourself why. Do you not trust them because of a past behavior of theirs or maybe an experience from your previous relationships? It may be a good idea to sit down and discuss why you may be having difficulty trusting them, or them you, because building trust is definitely an important aspect of any healthy relationship. And if it's meant to be, you'll find the trust is really there, as much as your love for each other. So, do you think your relationship was meant to be? How often do you think of your partner when away from them? No, they don't need to be on your mind all the time, but if you miss them, it's likely you have strong love. Perhaps you two were really meant to be after all. We hope you enjoyed this video and if you did, don't forget to click the like button and share it with a friend or your partner.
