15 Not So Obvious Signs That You Are In The Perfect Relationship

A good relationship is the cornerstone of a successful, well lived life. It's at this point when you feel truly content in the company of your better half. It's an established fact that forging new, meaningful relationships aren't exactly a walk in the park. There may be billions of people in the world, but there's only one person who is truly compatible with you. Here are 15 signs you've found the right one.

You both share the same hobbies

It's great to share time with someone who actually loves doing the same things you do. Whether that includes video games, gardening, sharing the love of pets or going to the mall. You both have the same habits.

You give each other space

You don't mind giving your better half some personal space every now and then. You respect their decision to take some time to themselves. You don't doubt their intentions and understand that some things are better done without you.

You don't bring up past differences

Every relationship has its ups and downs. But you both learn to put aside past differences to move your relationship ahead on a positive note. A bad partner will always bring up pat mistakes in heated arguments to deal a low blow.

You are friends with their friends

You are friends with your partner's friends and seem to get along well with them. This goes to show just how incredibly fine tuned the two of you really are. Their friends also love to spend time with you.

You appreciate each other's differences

While the two of you may be incredibly compatible, it goes without saying that you two have some minor differences, but you don't allow them to take over you and dictate all your relationship. Because your differences are your identity.

You don't fret over disagreements

Disagreement are bound to happen. As humans we all tend to have an opinion on just about everything. But good partners learn to shrug aside each other's differences on a positive note without making too much of a fuss over it.

They make you a better person

Your partner's presence has transformed you into a better person. Before meeting them, you were a closed shell who displayed few emotions if any. But after meeting them, you've turned into an entirely different person, but for the better.

They are your partner in just about everything

You're not just romantically involved with them, but you also share the same business ideals and goals. You help each other in work, assignments and school projects and are not afraid to share new ideas about completing a task.

You are truly connected with them

The attraction with your partner is not just on a physical level, but it also transcends on a spiritual level. You two seem to be tied together by a powerful cord. The cord called love which won't break that easy.

There is a lot of trust

There is a high level of trust between you two. You do not doubt them if they strike up a conversation with the opposite sex. Because communication is part of a normal life and you don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Your secrets are never spilled

Keeping someone's deepest, darkest secrets bottled up inside is an insurmountable task. It's not easy not to gossip around and spill the beans. But when true love is involved, you guard their privacy with like a mother guards her cubs.

You do everything as a team

The two of you compete objectives together as a team. Whether that includes vacationing together, completing daily household chores together or even cooking dinner together. Working as a team worked for you before and will work for you in the future.

You never get bored

Even the most trivial of tasks are turned into interesting, motivating activities. This is because you are in the company of your better half, someone who makes you feel better about yourself. Chores and errands are always fun when done in the presence of your loved one.

The sex is meaningful

Sex is an important part of a relationship. Although on the surface, we shrug aside sexual relations as a very superficial, meaningless interaction, sex is anything but meaningless. And a good relationship has a healthy amount of it.

You're never angry for long

It is extremely natural to get upset and angry at your partner for something they did. But you cannot bring yourself to hate them forever because doing so means you never loved them in the first place.

15 Mistakes We Make When Decorating Our Living Room

One of the most important rooms in any home is the Living Room. It is the first space any guest to your home will see, the place where you can spend casual evenings after dinner, and a great many other things. When decorating your living room it is easy to think that it is as simple as just putting in a sofa, coffee table, and some books, but there is actually a lot more thought that can go into it! I can't tell you what is the perfect way for you to design yours, but here are 15 of the most common mistakes to avoid.

Only Overhead Lighting

Within a space one of the first things you will notice is the effect the lighting has, even if you don't notice the light fixtures themselves. This lack of attention to the light fixtures is why this is the most important thing to think about! Lighting sets a mood, so make sure you have multiple different fixtures to be able to change the space as needed.

Rugs Can Ruin

With any living room you never want it to feel too empty or too crowded, more like a comfortable inviting space for family or guests. By having a rug that is too small you give it a first-apartment-we-can't-afford-furniture feel, so avoid that by picking a rug that fills the space, but not more than the furniture does.

Crappy Cushions

While the main functional purpose of cushions is to make seating more comfortable, they are an important part of the look of any space. When you pick cushions think not only about their functionality, but also how they will play into the look so that you can avoid terrible clashing situations like this one.

Closing Out The Space

Although some would think the best way to keep space open is to push the big pieces against the wall and leave the center space blank, that is not always the best plan when you are working in a large space. If you are able to have the sofa and tables off of the wall you will break the room into more spaces for moving.

Bringing In The Darkness

A simple rule is that dark colors make anything look smaller. That's why little black dresses are so popular! But unlike with waist size, you want to make a room feel as big as possible. To avoid visually shrinking your space make sure that you choose light wall colors and furniture to keep any space as big as possible.

Trying To Fit Someone Else's Style

Although having a space look good in general is important, what is more important is that it looks good to you! The people who are living in a space are the biggest factor in deciding its functionality so when deciding how to decorate take a second to think about how you and anyone else living there will feel in it.

Outdated Pieces

I am all for up-cycling and passing down from generation to generation, but there are some things thats time have come and gone. When you come up on a truly updated piece, it is better to let it go despite the memories attached. That way you can find something that suits new needs and pass that on instead.

Framing The Space Incorrectly

Almost everyone has photos in their living room, it is how you can easily look back on fond memories and showcase your life and memories to visitors. You may think it is as simple as putting a frame on a picture and tossing it on the wall, but it is not! Make sure you select frames and locations that match your furniture style.

Bigger Is Not Always Better

Sorry Texas, but bigger is not always the best. This is especially true when it comes to furniture choices. Giant couches like this one clog up spaces and rarely are needed. How many times are you really going to have 15 people sitting on the couch at one time? Better to go for smaller pieces that won't clog up the space.

Putting Fashion Over Function

Although it can be tempting to try and recreate your favorite pinterest page in real life, someone else's style will rarely fit perfectly into your own home. When decorating a space first make a list of the ways you will be using that space and build around the functions needed.

Forgetting The Centerpoint

This seems so obvious but it can easily get overlooked when thinking about the bigger pieces, but just like a dining room table at the holidays needs a centerpiece so does a living room. Something with a pop of color or an interesting antique will tie the whole room together and show an eye for detail.

Misplaced Plants

Currently there is a huge trend, spurred on by pinterest users everywhere, of having succulents (a type of plant) as a cute accent in your home. This can be a good add, but only if it fits with the existing design. Additionally make sure any plants you have are in pots that fit their size or they will not last you long.

Furniture Covers Your Grandmother Would Love

Don't get me wrong the functionality of a sofa cover us undeniable, but sometimes it is not worth the terrible design! If you are going to get a sofa cover make sure that it is tailored to your specific sofa and in fitting with your color scheme so that you do not detract from all of the hard work you did on your decorations!

Going Too Extreme

Although it is good to pick a theme and stick with it, there is such thing as going too far. Just like in the way you dress; You can favor a certain style but if you commit too hard then you look like you are in costume. Have a theme for your spaces, but don't be afraid to branch out to make it a bit less extreme.

Make The Curtains Shrink The Space

This is the final secret hack! The way you hang your curtains can make the room look several feet bigger or smaller. By placing the rod a bit above and slightly wider than the windows themselves you will give the impression of more light and an overall larger room.

15 Challenging Brainteasers for Kids That Will Work Your Mind

We have all been through that stage in life where brainteasers were part of exams and we as kids would solve them to get some marks. However brainteasers have gotten tougher over time and here we have 15 that will make you sweat. Please take your time thinking of the answer as the answer would be mentioned in the description below.

What Is It?

What is it about a minute, a moment and a thousand years that links them together? Focus on the letters and see if you can find a link between the words. Yes, you guessed it right; the answer is the letter 'M'.

Which Tire?

This is for all of those who think of themselves as great drivers. Which one of the tires in the vehicle stays stagnant when the car is moving to the right? All four tires should be moving, which leaves us with the Spare Tire as the answer.

What Can It Be?

Add caption

What options do we have when we think about things that aren't alive, but have five fingers on them? Definitely something we wear. What do we wear on our hands? You are right if you answered A Glove successfully.

The Dictionary

Obviously, the dictionary has to be right. Which word in an English dictionary is intentionally written incorrectly? There are not many options we have where, which leads you to the answer that is the word 'incorrectly' itself.

How Many Vehicles?

Well, we do know that the truck is headed to the village. But, we surely don't know whether the 4 vehicles met by the truck were going to the village or not. The answer to this question definitely has to be 'One Truck'.

Complex

Well, this one is surely complex. What do you buy to eat, but never end up eating? Obviously has to do with something inedible. Yes, if you're going towards the right direction you would have guessed 'A Plate' by now.

What Can It Be?

This brainteaser is certainly not for primary children, because it looks complex and really tricky. What can give you poison and fruit and kill you and give you life? Obviously something we say. Yes, Words is the correct answer.

Which Hand?

There is certainly a trick involved somewhere in this brainteaser. Why would you prefer one hand over another for something trivial as stirring sugar in a cup of tea? Obviously because you use 'A Spoon' to stir sugar, not your hands.

Tricky

What is it that dies down when you give it a drink? Or more clearly put, what can be killed or limited through the use of liquids like water and stuff? Those of us who are headed down the right path would have guessed 'Fire' as the answer by now.

Who Can It Be?

Who can it be that makes move while remaining seated? Obviously, no person can move or make moves while remaining seated unless they are playing a board game, and that board game is chess. A chess player is the right answer.

Think Hard

The more you take out of it the bigger it keeps becoming, what can it be? What is that one thing that the more you take out or dig out, it keeps getting bigger? Yes, A Pit is the answer we are looking for over here.

Complex

What keeps getting further away from you, the more you walk to it? And, it is located between the sky and the ground, and it is always far in distance. The correct answer is 'Horizon', which was pretty obvious considering the hints.

Existence

What exists only when there is light present somewhere? Although, they exist due to light, but direct light can kill them. What do you think it is? This one was tricky so we might cut you some slack if you didn't guess the right answer, which is 'A shadow'.

Tricky

This brainteaser is one of those ones which aren't really complex but are really tricky. What is it that only increases but never decreases? It is related to you. The answer is 'Your Age'. You grow older but never grow younger.

Travels around the World

What is that one thing that gets to travel around the world, but doesn't change the corner it is in? Well, it is related to the post. Yes, we're assuming that you have reached the right answer which is 'A Stamp'.
