Here is my list of what makes a relationship stable and full of strength. These days many people, especially teenagers have a hard time committing to a relationship and for the most part, the biggest issue is the connection and the balance. I believe any couple who be able to reach the zone below can experience a true bound. However, there are many other elements, but from my perspective these are the essentials.
1. Love
It somehow sounds funny to add love to the list, but let's face it, the main issue of many relationships is when they can't actually understand the underlying details of their feelings. They enter a relation and they are not sure if they are truly in love. So it is really important to recognize the identity of the feeling before you set up a bound.
2. Trust
Simply a relationship is nothing without trust. It is really important to build a reliable trust before entering the relation and continue to establish even more in order to keep it going.
3. Respect
Respect is one of the most crucial stands. If you can not respect your opposite for their belief, ideology, thoughts and decisions then the relationship is never going to happen.
4. Responsibility
Simply if you are not a responsible person, you are still not ready to make a commitment. A relationship desires an organized and responsible personality in order to carry forward.
5. Partnership & Sacrifices
A relationship is about partnership. If you decide to enter a bound you must remember the time of "Me" is over, right now, everything is about "Us". You must put your partner on priority ahead of yourself.
6. Loyalty & Commitment
No relationship can be successful without establishing a reliable level of loyalty. you should be able to "Trust" your partner with loyalty and know that they are "Responsible" enough to make a commitment. You can also feel why the previous elements are important to be made first. With a relationship, life opens up to a new direction where your mind and body must focus on your partner primarily.
7. Unity & Integrity
A bound is meaningless without being united. Some might consider this a fantasy but it exist. If a relation desire to carry as strong as possible it must be about one soul in two bodies.
8. Honesty
I actually believe there are moments which everyone experience as if the subject get recognized it'll be matter of "Shame" "Embarrassment" and many things will be ruined, or some people believe some lies are necessary, but take notice, if you do not be honest, you are not true, and if you are not true, you can not be trusted, and when trust is broken, it would effect the "Unity" "Commitment" and "Love" nobody can not trust a liar, either way, when you hide something, nobody can ever pass over the question "What else could be hidden" so simply by not being honest, you can ruin the whole relationship.
9. Mutual Communication
Communicating your partner openly helps to improve the health of the relationship. Being able to talk, share, rant, ramble and vent freely is a positive factor. It also helps to increase the comfort zone. The activation of this element helps the problems to be recognized easier and be dealt more effective including less fight, drama and misunderstanding.
10. Mutual Understanding
Understanding your partner is one of the very main foundations of a relationship. Being able to see, hear and observe your partner guarantee strength between the parties. Before you judge, listen and understand. Before you criticize, see and understand. Before you attack, think and understand. Explore your partner and understand how they think, see and believe. Try to see the world and the relationship from their perspective.
11. Mutual Agreement
Everyone have red lines in their lives. Favorites and preferences. Likes and dislikes. Belief and disbelief. Agreement is the key to stand with your partner. Agreements are part of the desire of "Sacrifices" sometimes you must sacrifice your willingness in order to follow your partner's red line or sensitivity. A balance between our behaviors, habits and actions.
12. Acceptance
Accept your partner the way they are. How they are and who they are. Stop opening your Photoshop and editing them as you wish. Instead, encourage them to be themselves And stand by their true shades.
I did not include the money, however, we all know money is one of main keys of our survival, but yet, money can't buy everything and money is not the key to happiness and the proof is out there. If you reach the elements above, in the worst financial status, you will stick to your partner, together will work hard and will survive right along each other.
