Often you go online and you see a bed flooded with shopping bags with the caption "relationship goals," or you may see a couple with matching Nikes with the same caption. But are those really what keep a relationship healthy and going? I'm here to tell you that the answer is no, that's not how you can keep a relationship healthy. Here are some real relationship goals to keep your relationship going.

1. Being each other's support.

You have to be there for your significant other when they are down and have nothing, not just when they are on top of the world. You have to help them up and support them through all the downs, not just some. It's about being there for each other through thick and thin.

2. Being best friends.

Your significant other should be someone you can laugh and play around with. Someone you can tell everything to and do anything with. They should be your best friend and someone who will always have your back. They need to be someone you can trust with anything. You need to be able to tell them the same things you tell your best friend.

3. Being faithful.

Your significant other should be the only one you want and the only person you are with. There is no excuse for cheating and to keep a healthy relationship you need to be honest with yourself and make sure you only want to be with them.

4. Sharing the same values.

Your significant other and yourself need to share not all, but a lot of the same values. Opposites may attract, but the more serious you get the more you will realize you can't happily be with someone who doesn't have the same morals and values.

5. Have faith in each other.

You have to trust your significant other. It's hard to keep a relationship healthy and going with doubts and fears. Especially, if you do not vocalize these fears and improve your trust. It's all about trust.

6. Spoil each other.

Not with material things, with love and affection. Leave them notes, send a cute text, tag them in a video you know they will love. Let them know you are thinking about them and make sure they know you love them. Materials don't make a relationship, it's love and care that make a relationship.

7. Love each other wholeheartedly.

You can't love someone half way, you can't love them only sometimes. Yes, relationships are frustrating and there are some tears, but in the end you always have to love them with your whole heart for it to work. You can't half do it, just love with all your heart.
