10 Tips To Having A Healthy Relationship Hopefully the two of you are treating each other well, right? Are you sure that is where you are? Never relax and assume everything is fine unless you are sure your relationship has the following ingredients to spice it up. 1. Mutual Respect Does him or her get how cool you are and why? The important thing here is to understand that your partner is into you for who you are i.e. your great sense of humour and your love of reality, does your partner listen when you are expressing your feelings or experiences to him or her? Respect in any of the relationships is paramount and means everyone values who the other one is and never challenges his or he boundaries. 2. Trust For example your husband is a professional counselor and told you he is going to give counseling to a family lady friend. Will you be comfortable with it as it is only counseling and nothing more. Are you sure you will not complain later if by chance you find them seated in a doubting posture, it is human nature to be jealous sometimes but your reaction is what matters. 3. Honesty Trust is paramount in any relationship. It goes hand-on hand with honesty because it is tough to trust someone when he or she is not honesty. To avoid your trust being in shaky grounds teach yourself to be honest just tell the truth in whatever you purpose to do. 4. Support Provide a shoulder for your partner to lean on in times of trouble and happiness. Rejoice when they are rejoicing and show concern in bad times. 5. Fairness/ equality Provide a give and take atmosphere into your relationship. Believe me things get bad really when a relationship turns into power struggle with one person fighting to get his or her way all the time. 6. Separate Identities Before you me you had different interest, hobbies, friends etc. this shouldn’t change. Neither of you should have to pretend to like something you don’t. Have an atmosphere to be free and keep developing your interest, meet friends and move forward without any restrictions. 7. Good Communication Never keep a feeling bottled up because you are afraid it is not what your partner wants to hear or you fear of sounding silly. Express yourself fully to your partner anytime. 8. Warmth, Affection, Connection, Laughter and Fun When people take loving care of themselves and take responsibility for making themselves happy, they generally want to share their happiness with loved ones. When you learn to stay connected with yourself, you likely want to share your connection with loved ones. Warmth, affection, connection, laughter and fun flow easily when both partners have learned how to take responsibility for their own happiness. 9. Enjoy Time Together and Time Apart In healthy relationships, partners thoroughly enjoy being together, but their well-being is not dependent on being with each other. Emotional dependency is the opposite of emotional responsibility. While some people enjoy being together all the time, some partners also enjoy being with their own friends or pursuing separate interests, and in a healthy relationship, they are supported in doing this by their partner. 10. Learning through Conflict Healthy relationships have a system for learning from their conflicts and resolving their conflicts in ways that work for each partner. Healthy partners are able to listen attentively to each other’s points of view and do not get stuck in having to be right or having to win. A healthy relationship is an evolving relationship — i.e., each partner is learning and growing through the relationship, and often through the conflicts. Conflict can provide fertile ground for learning when each partner’s intent is to learn, rather than to control or avoid being controlled. entflossug
