You’ll agree with me that having a successful relationship requires a lot of hard work from both parties. Everyone loves the fun times, and the Facebook and Instagram pictures with captions like #couplegoals, but all of that is icing on the cake. No one sees the work that goes into building healthy relationships except the people doing the work. So today, I’m going to share with you 5 tools that will keep your relationship healthy and fulfilling. Let’s go!
1. Communication: communication is the bedrock of any relationship. For your relationship to thrive, you have to learn how to communicate effectively with each other. If you have a problem communicating, start by telling them how things make you feel. And let them know you’re willing to listen to any of their concerns about your relationship. It’s important to communicate your feelings, reservations or hurts in ways that don’t come off as an attack on your partner.
2. Respect: respect is reciprocal. You get as much as you give. When we get accustomed to people being available to us, it’s easy to take advantage of them. But when you have respect for your partner, you appreciate the beauty they add to your life. You acknowledge their efforts, you’re considerate of their feelings and you value your relationship. That means creating healthy boundaries with other people, being transparent in your dealings and treating them like they’re your priority.
3. Forgiveness: the people who hurt us the most are often the people we love the most. This is because we place such high expectations on the people we love. We expect them to be eternally good to us because we chose them. But human beings make mistakes. To build a healthy relationship, you must be willing to put your pride aside and forgive your partner when they make honest mistakes.
4. Quality Time: is there any achievement in your life that came without you devoting some time to it? I doubt it. The same goes for relationships. For it to thrive, you’ve got to invest your time in it. The busyness of life will never go away. It’s up to you to find ways to spend quality time with your partner as often as you can. Find mutually enjoyable activities to do, be heavily invested in each other’s lives and let them know you’ll always be there for them.
5. Teamwork: remember the saying “teamwork makes the dream work”? That’s as vital in your favorite sports team as it is in your relationship. You and your partner are a team, bonded by a common goal which is to have a happy life TOGETHER. You both want to be with each other, otherwise, you wouldn’t be in the relationship. So remember that when they upset you and get on your nerves. Your partner isn’t the enemy. You can fight the problem in your relationship without fighting your partner.
