Love is a necessary ingredient, but not enough for a relationship to work perfectly. The stability of a couple depends on many other things, such as correct communication, a similar vision of life, a special resonance of souls that can make you say that the one next to you is your half.

To love means to look in the same direction, these are the words of Antoine de Saint-Exupery. A perfect couple is made up of people who share common ideas, think and feel the same way, who manage to get through any crisis without their relationship being broken in any way.

Here are the things that perfect couples do differently than other lovers!

A perfect couple can break free from the past without affecting the present relationship

Maybe a relationship didn't go well in the past. Maybe it caused suffering and was hard to overcome. But people who form a perfect couple can overcome the disappointment of their former relationships and not cling to memories.

In such a couple there is no specter of negative feelings about the connections that did not work, nor the tendency to blame the current partner for past pain.

In a perfect couple, partners know that they need to give and receive love in a balanced way

The perfect couple understands that the stability of a relationship lies in the balance between giving and receiving. Both partners think about each other's satisfaction, but also about their fulfillment.

There are no exaggerations such as possessiveness or addiction, nor feelings of frustration about giving too much or receiving too little.

In perfect couples, each partner understands the need for freedom and personal space of the other

Even if in the perfect couple the two partners spend a lot of time together and have moments of deep intimacy and fusion, they do not forget to allow the partner to express their individuality.

I can do this, understanding that my boyfriend or girlfriend sometimes needs to spend time with other people, friends, or family or to pursue their hobbies and interests.

In a perfect couple, the partners communicate authentically

Authenticity in communication is a sign of the depth of the relationship. Expressing yourself as you are, without masks and roles, brings a high degree of satisfaction and security within the relationship. In perfect couples, partners are not afraid to express their opinions and needs, they assume their vulnerabilities and defects, without fear of being judged or rejected.

In perfect couples, each partner discovers the language of love for the other and uses it regularly.

In The Five Languages ​​of Love, Gary Chapman's bestseller, the author shows that there are five primary ways to communicate your love: by direct affirmation, by physical touch and comfort, by quality time spent together, by altruistic action for the benefit of the person. loved and by giving gifts.

In the perfect couple, each learns the language of love to which the other resonates and strives to satisfy him and to behave by the expectations of his partner.

Humor is an essential ingredient in a perfect couple

Sometimes, more than all the sentimental statements and outpourings, a dose of healthy humor brings a sense of balance, a good mood, and optimism. In conflict or stressful situations, a humorous approach to difficult topics can help the couple to overcome difficult challenges, which would endanger other couples.

The partners give up unrealistic expectations in a perfect couple

One of the formidable enemies of stability in a couple is unrealistic expectations between partners. Such expectations show a lack of knowledge of your loved ones and a claim to force them to go in the direction imposed by you.

Sure, we all have expectations in a relationship, we can express our wishes to our partner, but he must be free in his options. An unrealistic expectation inevitably leads to disappointment and can erode a couple's happiness.

In the perfect couple, the partners give up the projections

There is a natural tendency to project on one's partner one's idealized image of love. The gaps with which we come from our biography or personal vulnerabilities tend to be projected on the loved one.

In other words, when our partner does something wrong, it activates in us the way another person in the past made a mistake and we tend to amplify the tensions.

Personal defects and weaknesses, difficult to accept in ourselves, are transferred to the partner. A perfect couple will be able to get out of this game of projections and communicate in the present relationship, without fantasies and shadows from the past.

The perfect couple expects only good things from the future

One of the most important dimensions of a relationship is building common life plans.

These plans talk about future events and happy experiences that your partners will share. When we imagine something for a long time, we begin to believe in that thing, which ends up gaining consistency.

More than anything, the partners of a perfect couple spread love around

Not only do they love each other, but they also can truly love themselves and those around them. Because the fulfillment of the couple makes the walls around the heart fall and opens us to a wonderful and boundless love.
