What is a Healthy Relationship?

Healthy relationships should allow both couples involved to have an intimate connection with each other and feel supported all the time by their partners yet still know how to live their lives independently and allow individual growth and development during the course of the relationship. Two of the most important and fundamental things in a healthy relationship: 1. Communication Couples should always communicate with one another with regards to the important matters in their relationship or their lives as two separate people. They should know when to reach out and talk to their partners about what is bothering them or what stresses them at the moment. You have to make yourself aware of what is happening in the life of your partner and also try to show that you care and that you are there for them no matter what the circumstances are. Without communication in a relationship, expect for it to falter and struggle as you won’t be able to understand what the other one is doing. - Respect each other. You have your own beliefs and your partner has theirs. Never force your opinions and views to them because that is just disrespectful. - Allow yourself to be open to one another. Update and let your partner know how you feel towards them, your job, your kids, your relationship and everything that is happening lately. They have the right to know and it is your duty to tell. - Hear your partner out and learn to listen about what they have to say. Whatever the matter is, be it a problem, a concern, a thought or an idea, just listen to what they have to say. - Compromise and adjust. You wanted him to wake up early because you want to go jogging outside but he cannot because he’s a night owl and his usual sleep starts at 2am? Then understand that your partner couldn’t do it so just do it alone or adjust the time. - Never ever criticize your partner. Do not point out unnecessary flaws as it will only start a fight. Instead, accept these flaws and faults and love them unconditionally. - Give your full support. Support your partner in whatever possible way you can and allow them to do whatever it is that they want to do. Cheer them on the sides, you never know how much they’ll appreciate you for it. - Celebrate when necessary. He got promoted? Celebrate. She won the contest? Celebrate. He finished fixing the car all on his own? Celebrate. She learned how to cook your favorite meal? Celebrate. Life is about enjoying and spending time with your loved one. 2. Boundaries Couples should know how to set boundaries and how to follow the said boundaries as it is crucial to allow each other to grow individually and not to be dependent on the relationship that you are building. Yes, you love each other and you want to be with each other all the time but you have to set limitations with how much time you’re spending together and with regards to financing, sexual activities, personal space and more. - Do not restrict your partner to hang out with their own family and friends. Let them spend time with other people and do so yourself. It’s suffocating if you just spend all your time together. - Do not always check on your partner using social media applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SnapChat. It is not healthy to allow yourself to be obsessed with your partner and stalking them and their feed on Facebook. You have to grow up. - Always trust your significant other. Let trust be your foundation. - Never push your partner to do things that they do not feel like doing and be someone who they are not. Would you want them to force you to do something that you do not want to do? Or be someone who you are not? No? Then do the same and just respect how they live their lives and do their things. - Do not just plainly accuse someone of cheating when you do not have solid proof. One, it is annoying when you do so and two, it is not healthy for the relationship as it shows that you do not trust your partner and that you are insecure with yourself. How can you strengthen and boost the health of your relationship with your partner? You are asking as to what you can do to improve your relationship with your partner and make is even stronger than before? Well, you just have to make sure that you try exert more effort and allot more time to spend with your partner and do the thing that you used to do before. Did you love having dinner at your favorite diner? Did you love going in the theaters and watch a good movie? Did you love going to the beach to surf and swim? Do it all again with your partner. This will allow you to: 1. Reconnect with your partner and re-establish the bond that you two somehow lost for a moment. 2. Enjoy yourselves and have a fun and happy time together 3. Remind each other what used to be and happened between the two of you and know what you have missed, neglected or failed to do. So yeah, just file a leave or a day off from your busy work schedule and spend the whole day with your partner. Do this to remind them that you think about them and you miss them everyday. Go out, talk to each other, go shopping, pamper yourselves or do anything as long as you do things together then you will be able to maintain a strong and healthy relationship. This will allow your romance to last forever and will give you a lot of time to spend with each other. You just have to remember that you need to be sensitive about your partner’s feelings, emotions and needs and strive to make them the happiest person here on Earth.
