As per relationship experts, a healthy, mutually fulfilling and satisfying relationships almost always require consistent and persistent energy and attention, particularly committed, long-term romantic relationships. Physical attractions and intimacy is not enough for a relationship to stay long.

Mutual respect:  Without respect, a relationship won’t last. Respect  is the key cornerstone of a healthy relationship. A relationship without mutual care and respect may have a difficult time being successful.

 Trust: This must hold true for everything, from the small things to the most important things to each partner. You should be able to trust that your partner will do something as minor as take out the trash when they promise to, up to knowing that they’ll be there for you when you’re struggling through a difficult life event.

Interdependence: Interdependence means relying on each other—that’s different from co-dependence, which is when you feel like you can’t do anything without each other. An interdependent relationship would be the ideal. Interdependent couples ultimately grow closer over time.They share new activities together, become increasingly interwoven in each other’s lives, and begin to think of themselves as a shared unit.
