- Consistent communication
The funny thing is, we always want partners who communicate and express themselves consistently, but when we get them we start to question the motives behind it. If your partner is effective at the communication thing, do not self-sabotage. Thank the heavens and move on swiftly.
- They always involve you in their plans.
When your partner constantly asks if you want to do things with them, that is a green flag right there.

- Aligning views and goals
Many pay a blind eye to this, but having compatible goals, beliefs and values with your partner eases your life in the relationship. It makes both of you sync in terms of life aspirations, in the present and the future.
Essentially, it is important to focus on the good aspects of your relationship and enjoy the moments that give you peace. There is no point in looking for a red flag in a place where the grass couldn’t be greener. Besides, the grass is not greener on the other side, rather it is green where it is watered.
