The idea that “opposites attract” is one we all seem to accept because there’s something romantic about a couple being compatible even when they have nothing in common. But the reality is, most relations are doomed to fail if the pair don’t share core values. Being on the same wavelength makes it a lot easier to reach goals and confront the challenges that every relationship faces. With all this in mind, here are 10 characteristics that every successful relationship requires.
1. Attraction
When we say “attraction” we are not simply making reference to physical attraction, although that is obviously important. Emotional attraction goes hand-in-hand with this. In other words, you might think somebody is gorgeous, but if they have personality traits that turn you off, no amount of good looks is going to allow you to ignore these flaws. Likewise, if your partner isn’t interesting, you are going to quickly grow apart no matter how good the sex is.
