There is a secret formula for a healthy and successful relationship, and this is it. If you're missing one of these core foundations, Cupid is frowning down on you. All these fundamentals need to be mutual in the partnership to be effective.
11. Quality Time
This doesn't mean you shouldn't leave time for other commitments in your life, but you should always leave some room for quality time with your partner. This will give you a chance to freshen up your connection and bond together.
10. Care
A crucial part of a relationship is caring and being cared for. This fosters a nurturing intimacy for both partners, bringing you two closer and feeling loved.
9. Understanding
You won't always agree with your partner but it's important to take a step back and try to see it from their perspective. Even if you don't completely "get it," by trying to you will at least grow empathy for them.
8. Established Boundaries
It's a good start to outline boundaries but it's key to completely respect them. Boundaries should include triggers, expectations for the relationship, and personal limits. Not respecting boundaries is a huge red flag.
7. Commitment

6. Compromise

5. Patience
As time goes on in a relationship it's easy to test each other patiences. That's why it's good to have a lot of it!
4. Communication
Communication is a pillar of a healthy relationship. It's crucial in compromise, boundaries, and understanding one another. Always speak up and say your truth but it's also necessary to actively listen to your partner.
3. Respect
Respect is the gateway to fair and loving treatment. A lack of respect is a recipe for trouble in other areas of the relationship, such as overstepping boundaries and a lack of compromise.
2. Trust
If your relationship isn't built on trust, what is it built on? Trust is essential to healthy vulnerability and reliability.
1. Forgiveness
In a relationship, no one is perfect. Feelings will get hurt and wounds will be created. Therefore, it's important to take a step back and forgive each other. After all, both of you will screw up at some point.
