Future goals align
To be in a healthy relationship that has a future, you have to align on each other’s future goals. These goals can vary a lot, but you must have some compromise on them. For example, do you both want children? Do you both want to live in the same country long term? Do your careers allow you to spend enough time together? And in the long run, where do you want to settle down? These are all big things which can make or break a relationship.
Respect each other’s differences
It goes without saying, you are both going to have differences with eachother. This is completely normal. No two people are exactly the same, and in many ways, those differences are what make relationships interesting and balanced. What is important is that you can live long-term with these differences and that it’s not going to cause conflict. For example, are you both introverts who enjoy quiet nights in, or is one of you more extroverted and enjoys being out in social settings?
Your lifestyles align
A quick and easy question to ask yourself is whether your lifestyles align. Lifestyle compatibility can sometimes be overlooked, yet it is very important that they match or have some bits in common. Do you both enjoy sports and watching live sporting events? Do you both enjoy eating out, or is one of you someone who likes to stay in a lot? What’s your evening routine like, and do they match up so you get to spend quality time together? Make sure you dive into this and ensure you are both happy with how you live your lives separately and together.
