Despite fighting with each other, you still try to understand where the other person is coming from and hear them out, and not just to reply back with a retort.

6. You Have Amazing Chemistry.
Chemistry is so important, and not just physical chemistry, but emotional and mental chemistry too. And holding on to that crackling chemistry tends to get challenging, the more you settle down with each other in the relationship. Once the honeymoon period is over, chemistry becomes more of an afterthought for most couples, but not for you. If that spark is still there, and you can still look into each other’s eyes with that same adoration, then you’re meant to be together.
It’s not always about physical intimacy, it’s about the little things you do together. Laughing at the same jokes, holding hands even after being with each other for a long time, cuddling together and going to sleep after a long day, having that same excitement you had at the beginning of the relationship, and making sure that you are always there for each other, through thick and thin.
Chemistry is extremely important, and the presence or absence of it can define the course of your relationship.
If you have these qualities in your relationship, then good news, both you and your partner are meant to be with each other! You are perfect for each other and are soulmates. Keep on nurturing your relationship with the same love, kindness, and understanding like you have been doing all this while because you are truly lucky to have found each other.
