7 Signs Your Relationship's Going To Make It

1. After arguments you feel closer. You both feel raw, exhausted and a little fragile but closer than you did before it. You've managed to talk it through rationally, listerned to each other's viewpoints and come up with a solution that suits both of you.
2. Jealousy isn't a problem. Instead of losing it and storming out or trying to get even by flirting with someone else, you confess jealous feelings and allow yourself to be reassured. You become less jealous of each other the longer you're together.
3. If in doubt, you'll take it as a compliment. If your partner says something that could be mis construed, you'll put the best possible light on it. If your partner doesn't feel like sex, you think, "They must be tired" not "They don't fancy me any more".
4. You think first, react later. If you accept each other, you'll allow for differences. If your partner's being critical, you'll listen, take into account any stresses and how tired they are, then throw in your two cents' worth. Only important issues are worth fighting over.
5. You don't change to suit each other, you work with each other. You're aware of each other's bottom line. There's a certain standard that's expected, but you're not rigid. You can put your partner's needs before your own occasionally.
6. You know how to say goodbye. He's nabout to head off for a two-week work trip. you don't cling, sob or feel resentful. You take him to the airport, kiss and hug, then wave him off cheerily. A graceful exit is best. Smart lovers keep each other hungry for more.
7. You both feel you're getting a fair deal from the relationship. Ask yourself this: Who's getting the best deal fromt his relationship: Me or my partner? You're on the right track when you can honestly answer, " It's fairly equal".
