You may want many things from your relationship and partner, but not expect to change it, which is why it is so important to get to know each other before you even think about the engagement ring, so that tomorrow you won't suffer from problems that you saw at the beginning of the relationship, but didn't dare to talk about in time.

Now, if you are happy and on the verge of exchanging your wedding rings, do you know what to really expect from the other person? Once you become a married couple, will the other person be able to fulfill your expectations? As you personalize your vows with inspirational love quotes, here's what you can expect as basic requirements for your relationship to grow stronger every day.

1. Affection

Whether you've been married a week, a year or ten, demonstrations of love are indispensable No matter how you express that affection - quality time, physical contact, words of affirmation, gifts, or details - the truth is that love is something you can and should expect from the other person and practice yourselves.

From actions as simple as sending a message with a nice love phrase, to preparing a surprise on any given day, it is also important to express their admiration for one another as well as to dedicate time to give free rein to passion.

2. Respect

Even if they have a strong difference of opinion, respect is something they should never lose It's okay to argue, to criticize or laugh at a particular funny situation, but always with the deep respect that you hope a couple can sustain over time. Don't forget that this one, from all angles, is the basis of a healthy relationship In other words, respect is non-negotiable under any law.

3. Unconditional support

Any problem, failure, fall or pain in life, no matter how hard it may seem, will always become a little lighter having the person they chose to exchange their gold rings with. And the fact is that the couple, more than anyone else in the world, will know how to give the right word, listen when necessary or simply comfort with a heartfelt embrace. For that reason, it is key to havethe peace of mind that the other person will always be there, through thick and thin. Whatever happens and at any time.

Environment

Since every relationship involves a back-and-forth of emotions, from the very day you raise your glasses as a couple and even before, you will need to have the best disposition to face the day to day together successfully.

Willingness to allow reciprocal influence; to make adjustments to grow in the relationship; to compromise on aspects of living together; to forgive and ask for forgiveness with humility; to listen, accompany, understand and remain; to see the glass as fuller than empty; and to dispose of all the good that is in each one of us In short, a willingness to make your relationship a place where you both want to be.

5. Freedom and empathy

Just as it is essential to trust your partner and know that you won't betray each other, it is also important to that both of you respect each other's space and time This is freedom in the broadest sense, from being able to share with groups of friends in parallel, to respecting if someone wants to wait longer to have children, even if they have already discussed it. In fact, the worst thing you can do in a relationship is to distrust each other or put pressure on each other on important issues such as family. The ideal, even if they go at different times, is tothat can accompany each other in their processes.

6. Complicity and communication

Two fundamental pillars of a successful relationship are complicity and communication, which you should always try to maintain and take care of, especially in digital times. It is not about sitting and talking every day for hours, but about getting to know each other to such an extent, that are able to understand each other through physical and verbal language. With time they will go through stages and, in this way, they will discover that special connection that is transferred in some couples and that turns them into accomplices with just a look; or with whispering a short love phrase to fix a bad day. To be lovers, accomplices and best friends is one of the great treasures to aspire to.

Now you know what to work on if you want your relationship to grow stronger and stronger, and what better way to do it than to practice preparing for the wedding, selecting together the wedding decorations, as well as the silver rings with which you will consecrate your love, among many other tasks that lie ahead.
