Relationships come and go, but if you’re lucky, you manage to find one that’s built to last. Couples who are lucky enough to build an unbreakable bond get there by having certain habits and behaviors that strengthen their connection while making sure the other person feels loved, supported, and heard. As a result, they’ll likely relate to these things.
1. They laugh together nonstop.
Life is ridiculous and human emotions are weird — and those two things are hilarious. Couples with an unbreakable bond embrace the lighthearted side of love and life and they don’t take themselves or each other too seriously. As a result, they’re able to laugh and keep things from getting unnecessarily heated and heavy. Not only that, but they have plenty of inside jokes and similar styles of humor, meaning they’re constantly cracking up. No wonder they’re so close!
2. They communicate without words.
They don’t even need to open their mouths to know exactly what the other person is thinking. They just look at each other and can immediately translate what’s going on in the other person’s head. This comes in handy, especially in awkward situations where saying things aloud isn’t possible (but is still totally necessary). There’s nothing better than being able to glance at your partner at a crowded party and have them understand that you’re ready to go home and get in your PJs.
3. They support each other unconditionally.
Through thick and thin, their mutual support never wavers. They back each other 100% of the time, all the way. That’s not to say that they don’t hold them accountable or confront them when they’re wrong. However, it’s always coming from a good place — one of love and a genuine desire to see them be their best possible self. Being each other’s safety net keeps their bonds strong and healthy, not to mention unbreakable.
4. They respect each other’s individuality.
Couples with solid bonds celebrate their differences and allow each other the space to be themselves, according to Psychology Today. They recognize that they’re two different people with unique traits and quirks, and they want to do whatever they can to preserve that. This respect for individuality adds a layer of depth to their relationship, which makes it much stronger and more resilient. There’s nothing worse than those couples who basically meld into one person!
5. They share dreams and goals.
Their dreams and goals are definitely intertwined in many ways, of course, but they also respect and support their individual dreams. They dream together, plan together, and work towards their goals as a team even if some of the things they want to accomplish are at opposite sends of the spectrum. This makes sure they’re happy and fulfilled both within the relationship and outside of it, which is super important.
6. They trust each other implicitly.
Unbreakable couples have a relationship founded on trust and honesty, according to Marriage.com. They believe in each other and trust each other implicitly, which means they’re always willing to choose truth over comfort. They know without a shadow of a doubt that if there’s anything important that needs to be communicated, their partner isn’t going to sugarcoat it or shy away from sharing it. Knowing that frankness is at the forefront allows them to relax a lot more in the relationship.
7. They love each other unconditionally.
Their love for each other isn’t dependent on circumstances or conditions. They love each other for who they are, flaws and all. This unconditional love doesn’t mean that they’ll put up with toxic behaviors or terrible treatment. Instead, it’s all about accepting each other’s imperfections and loving the other person because of them rather than in spite of them.
8. They cherish their shared memories.
Every memory and shared experience adds another layer to their unbreakable bond. These memories, both good and bad, serve as a constant reminder of their journey together. It shows just how much history they have and how many storms they’ve weathered together while coming out the other side stronger than ever.
9. They respect each other mutually.
Mutual respect is a cornerstone of their bond. They respect each other’s opinions, values, and decisions, which means when they have an argument or disagree on something, they do so with kindness and consideration. It means that both people feel like they’re being heard and that even if their partner doesn’t agree with them, they empathize and appreciate their POV.
10. They forgive and forget.
They understand that mistakes happen and are willing to forgive and forget. This ability to let go of grudges and move forward not only strengthens their bond but also makes it way more resilient. It’s a testament to their mature love and deep understanding of each other. They don’t want a relationship full of secret resentment or negative feelings. That would be the beginning of the end for them.
11. They face tough times together.
Couples with an unbreakable bond have often been through some serious stuff together, and these struggles have managed to solidify their relationship rather than destroy it. The tough times have proven to them just how strong they are as a unit and how much they can rely on one another to get through.
12. They find comfort in silence.
They don’t feel the need to fill every moment with words and are totally comfortable sitting and being quiet together — with them, there’s no such thing as awkward silence. This is because they “get” each other on a deeper level and are totally comfortable in each other’s presence. It’s nice to know you can sit beside someone, say nothing at all, and be totally happy about it.
13. They celebrate each other’s successes.
They cheer for each other and revel in each other’s successes as if they were their own. There’s no weird sense of competition or jealousy there if one person has more wins than another. They know that they’re fighting the same battle and are on the same team. Knowing that you have your own personal cheerleader is a game-changer for these couples!
14. They keep learning about each other.
Despite being together for years, they continually look to learn more about each other — and somehow, they actually manage it. This constant curiosity and desire to understand each other better definitely contribute to their unbreakable bond. It shows that they’re interested in each other and engaged in the relationship no matter how much time has gone by.
15. They cherish the mundane.
These seemingly ordinary moments are some of their favorites because they understand that these are the moments that make up the essence of their shared life. This ability to find joy in the mundane is a sign of their deep bond and shared understanding. They have an unbreakable bond largely because they love each other through it all.
