00:02 Hey, Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video.
00:09 Thanks so much for all the love and support
00:11 that you've given us.
00:12 Psych2Go's mission is to make psychology
00:14 more accessible to everyone.
00:16 Let's get this video started.
00:18 Are you worried about conflict and friction
00:20 in your relationship?
00:22 Have you started asking yourself
00:23 whether or not the relationship is worth it?
00:25 Stressful circumstances can make even the strongest
00:28 and happiest of couples second guess their relationship.
00:32 No matter how much you might love someone
00:34 or how strong your desire to be with them is,
00:36 there will still be times that might make you stop
00:39 and consider whether or not your relationship
00:40 can go the distance.
00:42 Here are seven definitive signs
00:45 that can help you realize whether or not
00:47 someone is worth fighting for.
00:49 One, they make you happy.
00:52 When we find someone who makes us happy,
00:54 we wanna do everything that we can
00:55 to keep this person in our lives.
00:58 Numerous studies have found that having close
01:00 and meaningful relationships with the people around us
01:03 is integral to a greater quality of life
01:06 and stronger feelings of overall contentment
01:08 and satisfaction.
01:10 These kinds of special bonds with people
01:12 are exhibited in friends or romantic partners
01:14 who make you smile and feel good about yourself.
01:17 These types of strong, positive relationships
01:20 can last a lifetime.
01:22 Two, you can talk to them about anything.
01:25 Honesty and openness are the foundation
01:28 of loving and healthy relationships.
01:30 Do you truly feel like you can talk to your partner
01:32 about anything, from your deepest, darkest secrets
01:36 to all your hopes and dreams?
01:38 If so, then it shows that there's a deep sense of trust
01:41 and understanding and acceptance between the two of you.
01:44 And that kind of connection is rare to find.
01:47 Three, you love spending time with them.
01:51 Do you enjoy spending time with your partner?
01:53 Do you look forward to seeing them and being around them?
01:56 Even if you're not planning on doing anything
01:58 particularly fun or exciting, if you answered yes,
02:01 then it shows that what you have with this person is special
02:04 because you enjoy their company
02:05 and you feel good about being around them.
02:08 You're content with the mundane
02:10 because as long as you two are together,
02:11 you always have a good time.
02:13 A relationship like this with your partner is easy,
02:16 comfortable, and definitely worth holding onto.
02:20 Four, you can be yourself around them.
02:22 Another great reason why you should fight for someone
02:25 is if they make you feel like you're free
02:27 to be yourself around them.
02:28 They accept you and love you just the way you are,
02:31 so you feel safe letting your guard down with them.
02:34 They never make you feel like you're not good enough
02:36 or that you need to try hard to impress them
02:38 or that you should change yourself just to please them.
02:41 They bring out the best in you.
02:43 And when you're around them,
02:44 you have the freedom to be your truest, most authentic self.
02:48 Five, you agree to disagree.
02:51 Do you believe that couples should strive
02:52 to have as little conflict as possible
02:54 to keep their relationship strong?
02:56 Well, the truth is,
02:58 constructive conflict is actually a good thing.
03:01 When you and your partner can agree to disagree about things,
03:04 it shows that you're both mature enough
03:06 to handle your problems without resorting to fighting,
03:08 name-calling, and passive-aggressive behaviors.
03:11 Agreeing to disagree shows that you prioritize your relation
03:14 over your desire to be right.
03:17 It shows that you're willing to set your pride aside
03:19 for your partner and vice versa.
03:22 You respect each other's differences
03:24 and value one another's opinions,
03:26 which is a very good sign that you're with the right person.
03:29 Six, you share the same core values.
03:32 Do you and your partner have different views
03:34 and opinions on things?
03:35 That's okay, as long as you share the same core values.
03:39 Core values are defined
03:41 as the fundamental beliefs a person upholds.
03:44 These are guiding principles that help dictate behavior
03:47 and understanding the difference between right and wrong.
03:50 If you invest in a relationship
03:52 with someone whose values are not aligned with yours,
03:55 it generally leads to increased disagreements,
03:58 misunderstandings, and resentment over time.
04:02 However, if you and your partner
04:03 believe in the same core values,
04:05 then it'll be easier to maintain
04:07 a healthy relationship with them,
04:08 despite the challenges you might have to face together.
04:12 And seven, you help each other grow as people.
04:16 Is your partner dependable and encouraging?
04:19 Do they boost your confidence
04:20 and push you towards achieving your goals
04:22 because of how much they believe in you?
04:24 Do they make you wanna be a better person
04:26 because of the wonderful example that they set for you?
04:30 A relationship where you help each other grow
04:31 and change for the better
04:33 is a relationship worth fighting for.
04:35 Finding a partner who not only loves and supports you,
04:37 but also challenges you,
04:39 can help you become the best possible version of yourself.
04:43 Falling in love and making a genuine,
04:44 healthy emotional connection with someone
04:46 isn't something that happens too often.
04:49 Did any of these signs make you realize
04:51 that your relationship is actually worth fighting for?
04:54 After watching this video,
04:55 did you decide to give up on your partner?
04:58 Or do you plan to work through your problems
05:00 with them together?
