A healthy, long-lasting relationship is founded on good communication. A partnership in which both partners are open, honest and able to listen to each other is more resilient in the face of trials. It is also important that both are able to express their expectations and that neither expects the other to be able to read their mind. This helps you better understand each other's needs and wishes. 

Joint activities strengthen the relationship and create shared memories. Whether it's cooking together, a trip to the countryside, a holiday or simply an evening together watching a movie – the key is to make time for each other.

Respect for your partner and understanding of their needs are the foundations for long-lasting love. Even if you have very big differences, the key is to recognise each other's value, to express gratitude and to try to understand each other. Respect creates a safe environment, which is essential for love to flourish.

A couple with common goals and a shared vision for the future has a solid basis for a lasting union. Setting common goals, whether long-term, such as family, home, career, or shorter-term, such as travelling together, going on holiday, learning new skills, strengthens belonging and partnership. Working together in this way creates greater mutual trust between the partners, and the shared achievements make both happy.

Personal growth of both partners is also a key factor in maintaining a healthy relationship. By taking care of each other's well-being, they also contribute to the harmony of the relationship. Self-esteem also enables, among other things, a better understanding of one's own needs, which in turn makes it easier to reconcile needs with each other and to accept one's partner's needs.
