But for happy couples a happy relationship doesn’t always mean you have to stick together 24/7. They stay because they want their bond to always be satisfying and meaningful. In short, they want to be happy in it.

According to people in lab coats, communication, social support, trust, and faith in each other are the factors that make a relationship last for a lifetime.

The difference is, if you are satisfied in a relationship means you are happy and have plans to grow with it while putting the relationship first means full of doubts and selfishness. What you should prioritize is yourself, after all, your partner is already a part of you, and hence if you love yourself first, then you can give unconditional love to your other half without any doubts.
