A professional matchmaker and relationship expert, Kate Wray, has shared a simple test that she says will help you decide if your partner is in it for the long haul.
She says that if you can answer “yes”' to eight of the 10 simple questions below, your relationship prospects are looking positive.

1. Are you the best possible version of yourselves?
None of us are so straightforward that we are just one type of person throughout our lives. Ask yourself if the relationship has made you a better person.
2. Do you trust each other without question?
If you need to know every detail about who your partner is with or are tempted to check their phone, you can’t answer yes to this question.
3. Do you both feel that you are the lucky one in the relationship and acknowledge it regularly?
You should never feel like you're the 'lucky one'; this needs to work both ways.
4. Can you both imagine the long-term future and being old together?
Speaking about growing old together is a sign of longevity.
5. Are you best friends?
You tell each other everything, you speak every day and you laugh together.

6. Do you like each other’s family and friends?
Our friends and family define us, if they like you and you like them but your partner doesn’t, something doesn’t add up.
7. Do you support each other’s decisions?
It is important to be on the same page for important decisions in life. But if you aren’t, you should at least be supportive of your partners decisions and at times, compromise.
8. Do you do things apart?
If you do everything together, you will soon run out of things to talk about. Having your own hobbies or just seeing friends separately adds interest to the relationship and makes you appreciate the time you have together more.

9. Do you have interests together?
There should be a least a couple of things you enjoy doing together on a regular basis, whether it be a joint favourite TV programme or a shared hobby.
10. Do you agree on the big stuff?
A healthy relationship requires an understanding between you and your partner. If both of you have the same views on important things affecting the relationship, like how to bring up your children; you are more likely to stay happy together.
