It's no coincidence that happy couples have similar behaviors. We often think that being happy means having fun together, sharing hobbies and doing things as a couple. But while doing things together strengthens a relationship, the most important component of a successful relationship is how the people in the couple treat each other, and that has a lot to do with communication and rapport. Listed below are some of the most important aspects of a successful relationship with your significant other.

🔓Being friends – Being friends and genuinely liking your partner is one of the most important components of a happy and successful relationship. If you don't like your partner as a friend, how can you really love him/her?
🔓Enjoying the company of your friend and partner – Laughter is not only good medicine, but it is also the glue that strengthens relationships and creates memories. Laughing together and even crying together is very important.
🔓Be spontaneous - We all have likes, dislikes and likes. However, showing spontaneity about new food, travel plans, meeting places, etc. we expand our horizons and show respect for our partner's preferences. Life is more interesting if we can be unpredictable together!
🔓Having Your Own Life - Developing a healthy relationship is the choice of two independent and emotionally mature individuals to come together to share life with each other. However, this does not mean that everyone should completely give up their lives for the common good. Everyone should have personal space - time for communication with friends, hobbies, building a career, etc.
🔓Being completely and unconditionally attentive to your partner - There is no greater gift than our full presence in another person's life. Being genuinely interested and attentive to your partner is a hallmark of a healthy, happy relationship.
🔓Show and express feelings - Physical touch is an important part of happiness and satisfaction in a relationship. Couples admit that simply holding hands and expressing their feelings out loud to their partner makes them feel more loved and desired.
🔓Be caring and kind - It is impossible to overestimate kindness as one of the most attractive things in a person, as opposed to criticism or constant complaints. When we radiate goodness, not only our partner feels protected and happy, but we ourselves are satisfied with ourselves and our behavior.
🔓Be honest – If we give our partners the feeling that we are committed and loyal to them and receive that feeling in return, we create the foundation for a truly strong and loving relationship. Too often marriages or relationships break up because of trust issues. Trust is the basis of all successful interactions.
🔓Be loyal - When we are loyal to someone, it means that we are always on the same side and our partner can count on our support and presence in a difficult moment. This is what we all want from our relationships, and in order to get it, it is necessary to behave in this way in the first place.
🔓Communicate – By actively and constantly communicating with your partner, you can avoid many relationship problems before they happen. Being proactive and constantly asking each other how you feel about certain things in a relationship will prevent and avoid conflicts and the appearance of unsatisfied needs.

Creating and maintaining a long-term relationship of love and trust is one of the best experiences that most of us long for and look forward to. While not a difficult process, it requires awareness and development, just like raising a child or growing a garden. By keeping weeds out of our lives, we can enjoy the continued beauty of our desired relationships and reduce the risks of "wear and tear" that neglecting these simple rules can lead to. Relationships require time, care and responsibility, but they are really worth it♾
