Love is unpredictable. You never know if it will lead to heaven or to hell. But there are some signs that your relationship is going to last or not.
1. Forgiveness
It’s easy to forget that the one that brings us joy and that we admire is also human, subject to error and weakness. That’s why it is very important to learn to forgive. The easiness with which we forgive our partner when they made a mistake or hurt us predicts the future of our love.

There’s no poison as dangerous as jealousy. If you or your partner don’t trust each other, if you relate to each other as possessions that must be guarded against others, this will corrode the relationship and you will end up broken hearted.

6. Celebrating each other’s success
A good relationship means that your success is your partner’s success and vice versa. If you envy your partner’s success, if you don’t support their accomplishments, your relationship is not built on solid ground.
7. Respect for each other’s space
It might seem romantic at first to spend a lot of time together. But in time, you have to learn to give your partner space. There will be a lot of things that the other enjoys and you don’t, but that doesn’t mean you get to make the other feel guilty about it. Giving each other space to explore your hobbies and passions will only make your relationship stronger.
