The idea of the perfect love is something that has been written about for centuries. Whether it’s Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde, or even Edward and Bella, we all seem to be fascinated by the idea of two people who are so in love that nothing can tear them apart.
And while these stories are beautiful, they’re also fiction. In reality, perfect love doesn’t exist. People are flawed and relationships are messy. There will always be arguments and disagreements. But that doesn’t mean that love isn’t worth pursuing.
Because even though perfect love may not exist, real love is still beautiful in its own way. And when we find it we should learn to recognize it and recognize a relationship that is worth fighting for. So, how do you know when a relationship is worth fighting for?
5 conditions for a relationship to be worth fighting for:
1- It makes you feel fulfilled and happy:
If you’re in the right relationship, you’ll feel fulfilled and happy. Your friends will see it all over your face and also in your sweet love story, and they’ll be jealous of the best relationship they’ve ever seen. They’ll give you compliments about your couple and be waiting to find someone that understands them, as much as you and your partner understand one another.
It’s worth it to fight for that kind of love. Trust, communication, and respect are all ingredients that you and your partner work with to maintain such a relationship. In fact, those are the three foundations that any good relationship is built on, and if you have them, you should cherish and protect your relationship with everything you have.
Relationships are never easy, but they’re always worth it if you find yourself in one of the great ones. So don’t give up when things get tough; that’s when you really need to fight for what you have.
2- You feel that your partner loves you unconditionally:
You should never stay in a relationship just because you’re afraid of being single or for any other wrong reason. You should only stay in a relationship if you genuinely believe that it’s worth fighting for. Any reason for staying in a relationship, that does not revolve around how much you enjoy being with your partner and want to spend the rest of your life with them; is not a good reason enough to stay.
You should only fight for a relationship if you feel that your partner loves you unconditionally and would do anything to make things work. And, of course; if you’re willing to do the same.
If you don’t feel like your partner meets these criteria, then it’s probably time to move on. So if you think that your partner is with you for the wrong reasons, then it’s important to communicate openly and honestly about what you’re both feeling.
It’s also important to be patient and understanding with each other, and check whether you’re on the same page often. Relationships are never easy, but they’re always worth fighting for if you believe that you have an unconditional and unmatched type of love, for one another.
3- You have plans for the future and know what to expect:
Also, a relationship is only worth fighting for if you can see a future with the person. You have to be on the same page about your plans for the future and know what to expect from each other. This means that you’re not just in it for the moment, but that you’re committed to the relationship and are willing to work towards a shared goal.
You need to be able to trust that the person will be there for you when you need them the most and that they’ll be willing to work through any difficulties that come up. In other words, there should be no uncertainty surrounding your couple or whether the two of you will stay together. You should be sure that you will find a way to fight against all odds and stick with one another, even if there’s a zombie apocalypse.
If you’re not sure about these things, then it’s probably not worth fighting for. In fact, if you cannot confidently confirm that you and your partner will be together 5 or 10 years from now, then it means you don’t have enough security and certainty in your relationship.
4- You both want to be with one another:
You can’t fight for a relationship alone or singlehandedly. You need to know that your partner is also willing to be with you, for a fact. If you both want to be with one another and are willing to work through the tough times, then it’s worth fighting for. However, you can’t force someone to care and fight for a relationship they don’t really want to be in, in the first place.
No relationship is perfect, and there will always be ups and downs, as we said earlier. But if you truly love each other and are committed to making things work, then it’s worth putting in the effort. It won’t always be easy, but it’ll be worth it in the end. So if you’re wondering whether or not your relationship is worth fighting for, ask yourself if you’re both willing to do whatever it takes to make things work and to be with one another.
In other words, one-sided relationships are usually not worth fighting for because one partner is not fulfilled and probably doesn’t want to be a part of the couple, in the first place. If this is your case then think about checking this article out later on one-sided relationships and whether they can ever work.
5- You’re capable of growing in the relationship:
Relationships are tough. They take a lot of patience, effort, and vulnerability. It can be difficult to know when it’s worth fighting for a relationship and when it’s time to let go. However, there is one last condition on our list that makes a relationship worth fighting for and that’s growth.
Whether it’s personal growth or growth as a couple, as long as both partners are committed to growing and evolving, the relationship is worth fighting for. This doesn’t mean that there won’t be tough times or disagreements, but it does mean that there is potential for the relationship to deepen and become even stronger over time.
Being expecting, accepting, and willing of growing together in the same direction and toward the same goals and future will also prevent you from growing apart. So don’t hesitate to develop your own identity, dreams, aspirations, and wants just as long as you include your partner.
Couples that dream, plan, work and grow together; stay together! So if you’re questioning whether your relationship is worth fighting for, ask yourself if you and your partner are committed to growth. If the answer is yes, then it just might be worth the effort.
