Healthy Relationships Don’t Just Happen

As humans, we have a built-in desire to have healthy relationships with our mates – a relationship that will eventually lead to a long and happy life.

Unfortunately, it seems that more and more people are in unhealthy relationships as we see divorce rates spiraling out of control. Some young couples do not even make their first year anniversary before filing for divorce. Then there are other people who are living in an abusive relationship. Therefore, what are some healthy relationship tips that will prove beneficial for a long-lasting, healthy relationship?

Respect – When you consider and value your partner’s feelings and wishes then you will be on the road to a long-lasting, healthy relationship.

Compromise – Disagreements are a healthy part of every relationship but only when each member of the relationship knows when to compromise. Not only so, but when disagreements arise, there is a way to argue and a way NOT to argue.

Being Supportive – It is important that each partner be supportive and accepting of each other. You do this by offering genuine encouragement and reassurance on a regular basis. Each person in a relationship needs to feel the confidence of being able to share anything with the other, knowing that they won’t be lectured.

Private time – is very essential in a healthy relationship. For example, partners in a good relationship will not be jealous when their mate spends time with their friends, workmates, or family. Giving your partner space to follow their own interests while still maintaining you as their priority, is a true sign of healthy relationships.
