Another green flag is when your values and goals align. That doesn’t mean you both like the same food, or have the same favorite color. But rather that you align on what matters most, like family, career, spirituality, money, and life priorities.

“This alignment becomes especially clear when you discuss the future,” reveals Gottman. “You both want similar things—whether that’s children, career ambitions, lifestyle choices, or how you want to spend your golden years.” He adds that these conversations should feel natural and not like a negotiation or compromise that leaves one person feeling unheard.

The best couples not only support each others dreams and growth, but also bring out the best in each other. You should always like who you are when you’re in a relationship. And if your person brings out the best version of you, you might have hit the jackpot.

You don’t just feel the change but other people notice it, too. Friends and family comment that you look happy, fulfilled and maybe even more relaxed. Gottman says while you shouldn’t choose a partner based solely on others’ opinions, it’s a good sign when those around you pick up positive changes in your happiness and behavior.

“Your closest friends and family members often have valuable perspective on your relationship patterns,” he explains, adding that when people who genuinely want the best for you consistently notice your increased joy and peace, it’s worth considering.

“You feel safe to be yourself, confident in your partner’s commitment, and secure in the relationship’s stability,” Gottman says. “This security allows both of you to take risks, pursue dreams, and handle life’s challenges because you know you have a solid foundation to return to.”
