“Chemistry” is that magic ingredient that brings couples together and keeps them together over the years. So, do you and that special someone have the real thing? Birkat Elyon has been around many couples since the 80s, providing them with top-quality cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings. Here are the signs you have chemistry (or not).
CORE VALUES
When you match each other on things like life goals, morals, and beliefs, you’re likelier to stay together for the long haul. Another core value is if you share the same take on family (such as wanting or not wanting to have kids) and lifestyle.
EMOTIONALLY IN TUNE
Emotional responsiveness between partners is critical to both communication and true intimacy. If you feel support, care, and understanding, you’re liable to reciprocate which strengthens the bonds between you. (PS – a nice way to show your appreciation for each other, around a special occasion, is with a gorgeous piece of affordable CZ jewelry!)
CANDOR
Being able to talk freely with each other about anything demonstrates a sense of trust and the ability to communicate easily. This kind of easy candor will prove important as the years go by and your relationship and life evolve.
MUTUAL INTERESTS
This doesn’t mean being joined at the hip, but when you both love similar music, sports teams, or activities or have the same sense of humor, it makes it easy to look forward to spending time together.
BEING PERSONABLE
Social scientists use the term “personable” to describe specific qualities including consideration, warmth, kindness, and understanding. These are valuable in any kind of personal interaction; in a relationship, being “personable” helps lay a solid foundation for true chemistry.
INTIMACY
This isn’t about sex; true intimacy is a feeling that you both can talk to each other about anything and trust that your partner will have your back.
PHYSICAL ATTRACTION
Seeing each other as sexually desirable is definitely part of “chemistry.” But over time, it’s only one part of it. Having most or all of the above qualities in your relationship up the odds of it going the distance!
