Will Your Relationship Last? (Based On Your Birth Month)
Lasting relationships are built on more than chemistry alone. Research consistently shows that trust, communication, shared values, and emotional support are some of the strongest predictors of long-term relationship satisfaction. While every couple is different, the signs that a relationship is growing stronger often look different depending on each person’s personality and priorities. This list offers a fun, birth-month-inspired take on the moments that may signal your relationship is headed in the right direction. Read on to discover what could be the biggest green flag for your birth month.
April
People who arrived in April, you’ll know a relationship is going to work out when you and your partner start planning long-term goals together. There’s nothing you love more than success (and maybe a little friendly competition), so it’s a good sign for you when your partner matches your values and wants to seriously plan out your future together.
May
When a relationship is going strong for you, you’ll be able to rely on them emotionally—and vice versa. You tend to have a set number of people that you look to for comfort and care, so when your partner becomes one of those people, you should know that you’ve found someone you can truly rely on long-term.
June
If your partner shows a genuine interest in your hobbies, you might have just gotten your dream romance. That’s not to say that your partner has to come fully equipped with the exact same roster of hobbies you do—and that’s probably not even something you’d want, seeing as your interests are constantly changing. But when you’ve found someone that gets excited by the things you’re interested in (and is willing to try them with you…or just listen to you ramble), you know you’ve found your true match.
July
You sometimes struggle to find people who will genuinely listen to you. As a type that everyone feels they’re able to rely on, you’re familiar with caring for those around you. When you’ve found that rare person who doesn’t interrupt and loves to listen to you speak your mind, you’ll know you’ve found a proper soulmate.
August
You’ll know things are going to work out with someone when you no longer have to put up a front around them. You’re a generous sign, and you also love to (politely) flaunt your accomplishments and achievements. As an optimistic, sunny sign, you also may feel like you just can’t have a bad day. When you feel safe enough to express unhappiness around your partner (and not feel like a failure for doing so), you’ll know you might have found ‘the one’.
September
The right relationship for you will mean your partner shows their love for you through their thoughtfulness. If you’re looking for a type that it’s going to work out, you should look for meaningful attempts from your partner to show that you’re always on their mind. Whether they make an effort to remember you favorite color or flower or just want to pick up a little treat for you when you’re feeling down, these small moments can really hit you with the realization that you’re falling in love.
October
If you’re looking for a sign things are going to work out, just look for someone you feel comfortable disagreeing with. Once you’ve hit this point, it means you’re seriously emotionally connected with your partner and feel safe around them. It’s the best sign for your birth month that you’re with the right person.
November
One way to know that your relationship is going to work out is if your partner seems to be strangely intuitive about you…and vice versa. You take a while to open up to someone, so if you’re looking for a type that you’re with your soulmate, you might look for a partner who is in-tune with what you’re feeling. They don’t need to predict everything about you, but for you, a partner who knows when you want to leave a party and go home or understands when you need your space is important. This doesn’t mean they’ll be telepathic—just that they know your preferences as well as you do.
December
When a relationship is going to work out, you won’t worry about independence or freedom anymore. You’re someone who doesn’t really enjoy being tied down, so you might struggle to work a job or sign a lease that’s going to keep you in one place for a while. To feel secure, you need to know you have an out. When you reach a point with your partner where you don’t want to run away (or you do want to run away—with them), you’ll know you’ve met your ideal match.
January
You’ll know you’re with your perfect partner when you feel that you can securely plan your future with them. You’re someone who likes to be prepared for every possibility, having contingency plan after contingency plan for every little life detail. When you start planning your serious goals with your partner—without even a second thought—you’ll know your subconscious is comfortable about getting serious with them.
February
When you find yourself with someone who challenges your ideas, you’ve met your match. A good sign for you to look out for is a person who you can have open discussions with about the things you’re interested in. They won’t be afraid to contribute to your work projects or just pose philosophical questions for you to think on.
March
A good sign your relationship is going to work out is when they communicate openly and honestly with you—and listen to your needs, too. You look for partners that will tell you exactly what they’re feeling and why (and will work with you to fix any relationship issues that arise). Having this kind of open dialogue is important to you—and when it’s present in your relationship, it’s a good sign things will work out.
