1. What Makes a Relationship Survive
INTRODUCTION
Welcome back to our channel, where we explore fascinating
topics related to relationships, love, and life. Today's topic is one
that many people can relate to: "Which long-term relationships
will survive and which won't?" It's a question that we've all asked
ourselves at some point in our lives, whether we're in a
committed relationship or not. In this video, we'll be exploring
some of the key factors that contribute to the longevity of
relationships and those that can cause them to fail. So, if you're
ready, let's get started!
FACTOR 1: COMMUNICATION
Communication is often cited as the key to a successful long-
term relationship, and for a good reason. It's the foundation of
any healthy relationship and enables both partners to express
their feelings, desires, and concerns openly. According to a study
conducted by the University of Texas at Austin, couples who
reported higher levels of communication were more likely to
experience higher levels of satisfaction in their relationships.
Additionally, couples who communicate e
ff
ectively are better
equipped to resolve con
fl
icts and misunderstandings, which can
help to prevent resentment from building up over time.
Unique fact: Did you know that nonverbal communication is just
as important as verbal communication? Research suggests that
body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice can convey
up to 93% of the emotional meaning of a message.
FACTOR 2: COMPATIBILITY

2. Compatibility is another critical factor in determining whether a
long-term relationship will survive or not. While it's essential to
have shared interests and values, it's also important to be
compatible in terms of lifestyle and personality traits. For
example, if one partner is an introvert who enjoys spending time
alone, while the other is an extrovert who loves to socialize, this
could lead to con
fl
icts and frustration over time. In contrast,
couples who share similar lifestyles and personalities are more
likely to enjoy each other's company and
fi
nd it easier to maintain
a healthy balance between spending time together and pursuing
their individual interests.
Unique fact: According to research by the Gottman Institute,
couples who have a ratio of 5 positive interactions to 1 negative
interaction are more likely to have a stable and happy
relationship.
FACTOR 3: TRUST
Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, and without it,
a long-term relationship is unlikely to survive. According to a
study published in the Journal of Personality and Social
Psychology, individuals who trust their partners report higher
levels of relationship satisfaction and commitment. Additionally,
couples who trust each other are more likely to feel secure and
have fewer con
fl
icts related to jealousy and suspicion.
Unique fact: Did you know that trust is not just about being
faithful? It's also about being reliable and dependable. Research
suggests that couples who can count on each other for
emotional support, help with daily tasks, and other practical
matters are more likely to trust each other.

3. FACTOR 4: SEXUAL COMPATIBILITY
While sex is not the most important aspect of a long-term
relationship, it's still an essential factor that can contribute to its
success or failure. Sexual compatibility refers to how well
partners match in terms of their sexual needs, desires, and
preferences. Couples who have di
ff
erent levels of sexual desire
or who have di
ff
erent expectations when it comes to sex are
more likely to experience con
fl
icts and dissatisfaction over time.
Unique fact: According to a study published in the Journal of Sex
Research, couples who reported higher levels of sexual
satisfaction also reported higher levels of relationship
satisfaction.
FACTOR 5: FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility is another crucial factor that can determine whether a
long-term relationship will survive or not. Life is unpredictable,
and couples who are willing to adapt and adjust to changes in
their circumstances are more likely to thrive in the long run. This
could include anything from changes in career or
fi
nancial
situation to health.
Unique fact: Research has shown that couples who are willing to
compromise and make sacri
fi
ces for each other are more likely to
have a successful long-term relationship. According to a study
conducted by the University of Illinois, couples who reported
higher levels of sacri
fi
ce and compromise were also more likely
to report higher levels of relationship satisfaction.
FACTOR 6: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize,
understand, and manage one's own emotions and the emotions

4. of others. In the context of a long-term relationship, emotional
intelligence is essential because it enables partners to
communicate e
ff
ectively, empathize with each other, and resolve
con
fl
icts in a healthy way. Individuals who lack emotional
intelligence may struggle to connect with their partners, which
can lead to misunderstandings, resentment, and ultimately, the
breakdown of the relationship.
Unique fact: According to a study published in the Journal of
Marriage and Family, couples who reported higher levels of
emotional intelligence were more likely to have successful long-
term relationships, even in the face of external stressors such as
fi
nancial di
ffi
culties or health problems.
FACTOR 7: GROWTH MINDSET
A growth mindset refers to the belief that individuals and
relationships can change and improve over time with e
ff
ort and
dedication. Couples who have a growth mindset are more likely
to see challenges and obstacles as opportunities for growth and
development rather than as insurmountable problems. This
mindset can help partners stay committed to each other and the
relationship, even during di
ffi
cult times.
Unique fact: According to a study conducted by the University of
California, Berkeley, couples who believed that their relationships
could improve with e
ff
ort were more likely to report higher levels
of relationship satisfaction and commitment.
FACTOR 8: EMOTIONAL CONNECTION
Emotional connection refers to the ability of partners to
understand and support each other on a deep emotional level.
Couples who have a strong emotional connection are more likely
to feel secure and satis
fi
ed in their relationships, which can

5. contribute to their longevity. Emotional connection can be
cultivated through shared experiences, open communication,
and mutual support.
Unique fact: According to a study published in the Journal of
Family Psychology, couples who reported higher levels of
emotional connection were also more likely to report higher levels
of sexual satisfaction.
FACTOR 9: FINANCIAL COMPATIBILITY
Finances can be a signi
fi
cant source of stress in any long-term
relationship. Couples who have di
ff
erent attitudes towards
money, di
ff
erent spending habits, or di
ff
erent
fi
nancial goals may
struggle to
fi
nd common ground, which can lead to con
fl
icts and
resentment over time. On the other hand, couples who are
fi
nancially compatible are more likely to work together towards
common
fi
nancial goals and to support each other through
fi
nancial challenges.
Unique fact: According to a study conducted by the American
Psychological Association, couples who reported higher levels of
fi
nancial satisfaction were also more likely to report higher levels
of overall relationship satisfaction.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, there are many factors that contribute to the
longevity of a long-term relationship. Communication,
compatibility, trust, sexual compatibility,
fl
exibility, emotional
intelligence, growth mindset, emotional connection, and
fi
nancial
compatibility are all important factors that can determine whether
a relationship will survive or not. By cultivating these qualities and
working together towards common goals, couples can increase
their chances of having a successful and satisfying long-term
