The couples destined to last over time are not those that are inseparable, but those who have these 5 habitual behaviors.

It is a common belief, also supported by the Internet, that some typical behaviors of a couple allow others to understand if the relationship will last or not.

In reality, behaviors that seem deleterious such as arguing and being attracted to another person do not necessarily determine the end of a couple's relationship.

Conversely, affectionate gestures in public, kissing or hugging each other, etc., do not necessarily mean that the couple will last.

There are some behaviors that distinguish a relationship that is destined to last over time, even if at first sight they could be mistaken for signs of a couple's weak relationship.

  • 1. They do not try to always solve all the problems: Disagreement on some issues does not necessarily have to be deleterious. There are differences, but sometimes that is okay, too. On the other hand, the "old" couples will still have unresolved issues that will always come up again, but this does not mean that it ultimately leads to an acceptance of the situation. Only weak couples are those who continually try to resolve every divergence, and by doing so they automatically create issues that can jeopardize the existence of their relationship. Sometimes it is better to let a disagreement about something remain as it is.
  • 2. They are sincere, even if it hurts: It is vitally important instead, not to lie. Telling a lie, even if it was created with good intentions, does not make one or the other happy. But a couple's intellectual maturity must be able to accept mutual sincerity, even if this can be contrary to expectations.

  • 3. They also have eyes for other people: It is inevitable, however, that one can feel an attraction for another person, without this having a negative effect on a couple's relationship. It is necessary, however, that one does not make hasty decisions and reflect on the fact that the attraction could pass quickly. 
  • 4. Spending time away from each other: It is also good to have an independent life, with personal friends other than that of the couple, with different interests that each partner can develop on their own. This is the way love is nourished! Sacrificing one's liberty in the name of love is not satisfying and, in the long run, leads to the end of the couple. If one limits the freedom of the other, it is best that the relationship ends sooner than later.

  • 5. They do not seek perfection: There are people who believe that their partner is perfect, but perfection is not of this world. Others, on the other hand, are looking for the perfect person. Both make the mistake of not accepting the other's flaws when instead true love is the acceptance of these flaws. 

In the eyes of others, these behaviors could be mistaken for signals of alarm that something is wrong with the couple's relationship. However, as a matter of fact, it is the exact opposite! Two people who really love each other are always sincere and they also defend their personal spaces and prefer to spend quality time together, not paying so much attention to quantity.
