Many people deny the fact that a happy relationship exists. While many people believe that they really exist. But very fewer people know what they look or feels like. This confusion about love is there because we are giving wrong messages to our pop culture and biased socialisation. And to really understand the love we need to unlearn what these toxic messages taught us. Here are some insights from the experts on what a happy relationship looks like.

1. There are 7 signs of a happy relationship, which are mutual respect, arguing, not fighting, agreement on sex, agreement on parenting, equality with money, common goals and values, and fun.

2. People in a happy relationship often view their partner as their best friend. They value and maintain healthy communication with each other and see disagreements as normal, healthy challenges and have the resolve to work through them together. Loving, happy couples support one another, cherish each other's wins, value intimacy and make time for each other.

3. The surprising finding is that the closest, most intimate and most trusting relationships appear to be distinguished. It is not by how the partners respond to each other's disappointments and losses but how they react to good news.

4. In a culture that often praises having a thick skin and staying strong and self-contained, we mistakenly brush off being vulnerable as weak. We believe it will unnecessarily expose us to hurts and humiliations we could otherwise avoid.

5. Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.

6. We all have two fundamental and opposing needs: the need for security of love and the need for the adventure of desire. Love is about reconciling these two parts and finding the sweet spot between love and desire.
