We all know those couples- the Jay Z’s and the Beyonce’s, the Brad’s and the Angelina’s- the power couples of the world.
We all desire to be like them and have a relationship like they do. Most of the time however, we are not aware of all the hard work that goes into having a “power couple” relationship. It is not easy, but it is certainly worth it. There is giving and taking, and a lot of time is spent working on yourself, and allowing your partner not to define you, rather to compliment you.
LifeDaily identifies the 12 Indications That You’re A Power Couple:
12. You put your ego to the side
There is no room for an ego when it comes to your relationship, and while sometimes your ego may rear its ugly head, you quickly stop it right in its tracks. The happiness of your partner is far more important than any inflated ego you may have.
11. You support one another
In whatever it is, you are supportive of your partner. Even if you don’t agree with a decision that your partner is making, you are supportive of their decision, and you allow them to figure out what’s best for them on their own. You know that you are distinct individuals, and while you offer help, support and guidance, you never try and force your opinions on your partner.
10. It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about working together as a team
There is no “I” in team, and a power couple knows this. You will get a lot farther as a team, than you will by yourself. A power couple is a team in every sense of the word, and when their partner wins, they win, and vice versa.
9. You compromise
A relationship consists of both giving and taking. A power couple plays fair with one another, and they are farthest thing from selfish. They make adjustments so that their significant other is happy, and they make compromises so that they are both happy.
8. You motivate one another
As a power couple, you both motivate and encourage one another to reach new heights, and together, you dream as big as you can possibly dream. You may motivate each other to eat healthier, to workout more, to study harder, or to put forth more effort at work. Whatever it is, you are right there besides your partner motivating them and rooting them on along the way.
7. You both have your own lives
Both of you have your own lives- your own careers, your own passions and interests, and your own friends. When you join together, you have a lot to contribute to the relationship- new ideas, new suggestions, and a fresh mind and heart. You are not dependent upon one another, rather you lean on your partner when you need to, but you are fully capable of standing on your own two feet.
6. You compliment one another
Where one partner lacks, the other flourishes. Your partner has certain strengths and weaknesses, just like you do, and you are able to build upon each other’s strengths, and forgive each other’s weaknesses. Where your partner may not be the best cook, you may be an amazing cook, or where your partner is the worst with remembering plans, you never forget a thing.
5. You are not critical
You are never critical of your partner, and you don’t just love certain parts of them, you love and embrace them fully-flaws and all. Everyone has their flaws, and as a power couple, you don’t spend your time criticizing your partner, instead, you look internally on ways you can improve yourself.
4. You work together to achieve your goals
Maybe one of you has to work late one night from home, so your partner decides to work late with you. Or maybe your partner needs some help finishing a difficult project they’ve been working on, so you lend a helping hand. A power couple works together to achieve their goals, and does whatever necessary to make sure their partner accomplishes theirs.
3. You call your partner out on their crap when it’s necessary
When you’re a power couple, you’re not afraid to speak your mind to your partner, especially when they are wrong or out of line. You call them out on their crap in the nicest way possible (in a non-aggressive way), and you let your partner know that it is not beneficial to anyone for them to be acting the way they are.
2. You both have the same end goals
This can be plans of getting married and having kids for example, but regardless of the goal, you are both on the same page. You do not worrying about trying to change your partner to want the same things that you want, instead the both of you know that you are in it for the long haul- and you are moving towards the same end goal.
1. You talk about taking over the world
Taking over the world with your love, your success, your family, and in every way. You want to take over the world together, and always be by each others side. You know that the two of you are better together than you are apart, and this is what truly makes you a power couple.
