…Have you ever wondered what the things that make two people stay together and remain faithful to each other are?

Infidelity is one of the most common causes of why people decide to break up. After all, I don’t think there’s anyone who wants to be cheated on. There are many couples who stayed together for many, many years and they stated that they are just as in love as they were at the beginning of the relationship.

We wanted to know more about their secrets, so we talked with several dating experts. The majority of them told us that couples who don’t cheat tend to have identical habits.

They do little things for one another, they listen to each other, so they both feel important and loved in the relationship. However, the majority of partners who remained faithful to each other said that before being partners, they were really good friends.

With that being said, here are 7 things that make partners remain faithful.

1. They’re not afraid to show their vulnerable side

When you’re in a relationship, you let someone else enter your life and get to know you as a whole, with both good and bad parts. This means that it’s essential to open up about your feelings and allow your partner to see your vulnerable side.

According to experts, couples who know they can be sincere with one another tend to stay together. Think about it: when you had a rough day and all you want to do is hug your significant other and tell them all about it, it makes you feel appreciated. And it also maintains that feeling of someone who is “getting you”.

2. Their fights are healthy

Even though this might sound crazy, many relationship experts believe that fighting can be healthy for couples. However, that implies a condition: both the partners have to do something to improve their connection after the fight is over.

For instance, if you and your partner argue about the fact that they never pick up the grandkids from school, they should make an effort and pick them up every once in a while.

This way, all that fighting actually turns out to be productive. It’s not easy or pleasant to argue, but it is better to let it all out rather than keeping all the problems for yourself.

3. They don’t care about perfection 

Couples who really care about each other and who remain faithful know that their relationship isn’t perfect, but they are willing to do something each day to work on improving it.

Whether it’s discussing their issues or forgiving one another in case of mistakes, they know that their partnership is a lifetime process, which needs constant work and effort.

4. They know self-care is important 

I once heard someone say that “a partner shouldn’t be your happiness, they should ad on it” and that changed my whole perspective on relationships. Self-care is a thing that the majority of people tend to ignore when they find someone to share their lives with.

You should be comfortable with yourself first, before getting in a serious relationship with someone. Long story short, if you are already happy with yourself, your relationship is going to be great.

But if you’re always feeling down and low and expect your partner to give you everything they’ve got, this is a problem. Furthermore, it can lead to cheating, because you’ll look somewhere else for fulfillment.

5. They always support each other 

Couples who get along and support each other no matter what have more chances to remain faithful to each other, compared to those who don’t do these kinds of things.

For instance, even a simple text message saying “Good Luck” before an important event can go a long way. Supporting each other actually creates a stronger bond in the relationship and it will make both partners happy and content.

6. They do activities together 

There are many people who believe that couples who try new things together are happier. That is because our brains release some chemicals that are the same as those you felt when you first fell in love.

This is actually a key ingredient when it comes to keeping the relationship stimulating and fresh. When people make time to explore new things or to go on adventures together are more likely going to remain faithful in the long run.

7. They make each other a priority

Couples who treat each other like a top priority are happier and that’s a fact. The reason this happens is that they show each other how much they appreciate one another.

For instance, they schedule date nights, they talk about all the things that come to their minds, they express their gratitude towards each other, they set goals, and the list can go on.

CONCLUSION

If you want to be sure that you and your partner will always remain faithful to each other, you need to do a few extra things, such as making an effort to change the things you don’t like, become friends before lovers, talk about everything, and don’t be afraid to open up towards your partner.
