10 questions you should be able to say ‘yes’ to if you’ve found The One

So you think you’ve found the person of your dreams and you want to stay with them forever?

Well it’s time to put that love to the test.

Licensed professional counsellor Jeff, known as Therapy Jeff on TikTok, recently re-shared 10 questions that he says you should be able to answer ‘yes’ to, if you’re truly compatible.

The questions, which featured in his most popular video of 2024, are designed to see whether you could truly last in your couple until death do you part.

They’re also a chance to be introspective about whether all your needs are being met.

You don’t have to get a perfect 10 out of 10 though. Jeff says that as long as your answer is ‘yes’ to seven or more of the questions, your relationship should go the distance.

Here’s Jeff’s make-or-break quiz…

What’s the most annoying thing your partner does? If it never changes will you still want to be with them forever?

Let’s face it, we all have our quirks but if there’s something that irks you to no end, are you going to be able to put up with it for the next 50 years?

Maybe they chew with their mouth open or maybe they never clean the house – either way, you’re in for a lifetime of it.

Do you like who you are around them?

It’s no secret that how someone behaves can affect you negatively or positively. Do they make you a better person or do they make you a version of yourself you’re unhappy with?

You’ll have to live that way for the rest of your life.

Does this relationship challenge you to grow and evolve in ways that you enjoy?

You want to progress, not regress. If your significant other challenges you to explore new things and change how you approach different situations – that’s usually a good thing.

Maybe they’ve empowered you to travel somewhere you’d normally have avoided, or challenged you to become more confident in your decision-making? Have a good think about how you’ve changed so far.

If you weren’t in a romantic relationship could you see yourself being really good friends with them?

While you don’t need to be friends with someone before dating them, this question can help you identify whether you’re blinded by love or whether you’re truly in love with who they are.

Do you feel confident and comfortable in the bedroom?

Being able to share your wants, needs, likes and dislikes in the bedroom is the perfect foundation for a flourishing sex life.

For many people sex is an important part of the relationship and building intimacy can bring you even closer together than before.

Is trust and respect strong in the relationship?

It’s what all solid relationships are built on. If you don’t trust or respect your partner, it’s not going to last.

Do your dreams and long term goals feel supported in this relationship?

Helping each other to achieve your goals is important for many couples, and you don’t want to feel like you’re constantly battling your partner in order to fulfil your dreams.

Do you both act as emotional anchors for each other, making it easier to cope with stress and navigate life’s ups and downs?

You’re both going to have highs and lows throughout your relationship and you need to know if you can rely on each other for emotional support.

If not, do you have an adequate support system in place elsewhere?

Are your values and core beliefs similar and or compatible?

Politics, family values, feminism – the list is endless when it comes to things you might disagree on.

Make sure you don’t clash on any core beliefs that you’d consider a deal-breaker.

Is this relationship an overall net positive in your life?

If you see your relationship as a drain or a negative part of your life – it’s never going to last. So, answer carefully.
