CRUSHES

Ever question if you’re with the right person? It's a natural and *important* thing to think about when you're in a relationship. Healthy bonds with your BF or GF can be super beneficial to a person and help them grow. And an unhealthy one can be pretty damaging. If these three things are present in your relationship, then you and your babe are probably on the right track.

Solid communication
It can sometimes be hard to connect and build a relationship with someone who you don’t understand. If you find that you two are constantly arguing, this could be a sign that there is a disconnect in your communication. Fortunately, this is usually an easy and quick fix: ask them how they're feeling, have deep conversations more often and don't be afraid to ask them uncomfortable questions to help gain a better understanding of each other. 

Trust
Trust has to be built together gradually, so if you and your sweetie don't have this yet don't fret. To get there, make sure to be consistently honest and there for your partner when you say you will. Remember, actions speak louder than words.

Common core values
Are the same things that are important to you important to your s/o? Of course there will be certain things that you two just don’t agree on, but if there are big issues that are important to you and not to them, that might be something to discuss with your BF/GF. This isn't a deal breaker as long as you two can respect each other's differences, but it's certainly something to give some thought to.
