How long has your relationship lasted? Many people don’t last for long in their relationships. There are many things that break relationships but people still do them. To maintain a long and healthy relationship, partners need to communicate, trust each other and be truthful in the relationship.
Did you know that many things change when you are in a relationship for a long time? Well, some changes are inevitable when it comes to being in a relationship for a long time. Here are four crucial changes you will notice in partners who have been in a relationship for a long time:
You sound alikePartners who have been in a relationship for a long time will start to match each other’s speech patterns. They will take the accents of their partners and amount of pauses when talking to people. This phenomenon is commonly known as emotional contagion. If you want to guess the amount of time couples have been together, confirm whether they mimic each other’s words and language patterns.
You start to look alikeThe state commonly known as coordinative structure will occur between partners who have been together for a long time. According to psychologists, changes such as body sway, mannerisms, idiosyncrasies and harmonizing of their gaze will take effect between couples who have been together for a long time, which makes them look alike.
No more self-censoringPartners who have been in a relationship for a long time will be comfortable and free to share anything with one another. They don’t feel insecure even about their deepest secrets, which they share with their partners. They get comfortable with one another.
You develop your own language with your partnerDeveloping an own language means communicating in words or a language that only the two of you understands. Partners who have been in a relationship for a long time will develop a language or communication skills that only the two of them will understand.
