At the beginning of a relationship, there’s always a moment where you wonder if it’s going to last or not. And it’s not complicated to answer that question, you just need to know how to recognize the signs that don’t lie.
Boundaries are not always clearly defined. If we’re talking about the borders of a country or a city, then those boundaries are pretty easy to distinguish. But when it comes to a romantic relationship, it’s a whole different story. How do you know if your relationship has reached a new level? In other words, what are the signs that indicate a relationship is now serious?
You trust each other
Trust is an essential pillar for the stability of a relationship. “It’s one of the most important elements for a strong and lasting relationship,” confirms the expert. “You need to be able to live with someone without constantly having doubts and jealousy lurking. It’s also a sign of serious commitment from your partner.”
You don’t necessarily have sex every time you see each other
When you start dating someone, evenings often end in passionate moments. But when you reach the point where you can say, “I’m too tired/I’ve eaten too much/I’m not in the mood, can we just sleep,” it’s a sign that your relationship has reached a whole new level.
You spend a lot of time together
If you constantly spend time together and feel reluctant to leave each other, even just for a few hours, it’s a sign of a serious relationship. By wanting to be with each other and trying to find opportunities or activities to share, even when you’re overwhelmed with work, you’re demonstrating the love that binds you.
You meet each other’s families
Several acts of love demonstrate the feelings we have for someone without necessarily having to say them out loud. Meeting each other’s families and friends is one of them. In fact, according to a study, this is the main indicator that your relationship is serious. By making this introduction, your partner not only hopes to reveal a more personal and less known side of themselves, but they also indicate to their parents and to you that your relationship is solid and that you are an important person in their life.
