8. A strong sense of self
Some women think that a man wants someone who will agree with them all the time. But in reality, a woman with opinions of her own is more than sexy and exciting—she’s worth staying in love with. A woman who has a critical mind and independent thinking can inspire a man to see things in a new light. It also shows that a person is authentic.
9. Passion
Over time, emotional and physical attraction may wane, but there are several strategies to maintain its intensity. While it may be tempting to consistently wear sweatpants and cozy attire once in a relationship, occasionally dressing up, both in and out of the bedroom, can significantly enhance your relationship. Trying new things and being adventurous (again, both in and out of the bedroom) can also revive that spark.
10. Support
Sticking together through the tough times helps solidify a bond and take things to the next level. It’s proof that you’re not just going to run away at the first sign of a challenging time. It’s easy to stay during the good times, but when you support them through the bad times, it shows resilience, which is a vital quality in a long-term partner.
