Some Essentials for Having a Healthy Relationship
- Trust: In order to start a healthy relationship with someone else, either female or male, one must have trust. Trust is being able to open up completely to the person you love without any fear of being black mailed or judged. One must be able to trust that person enough to have no secrets between each other and to be able to hold that person accountable when needed.
- Love: If there is no love then there is no happiness. I definitely think love is a “must have” when in a relationship. If there is no love then what is the point of being together. Love should unite those two individuals together not money, or social forces. Love is what keeps the relationship alive and healthy most of the time.
- Compromise: One must be able to compromise with that significant other because when one does come to agreements with that person then stress is relieved and the relationship is much more enjoyable. When differences between each other are cleared up and both individuals have come to an agreement for the well being of both then you can start seeing the relationship couldn’t go better and that the person you love can be reliable.
- Faithfulness: Being true and real with your partner is very significant and important. If you want a healthy relationship then you must learn to be faithful and just keep your eyes on one person unless she/he is okay with you not making him/her your priority. It is always the case though that a healthy relationship is about two individuals not three or more. So, keep in mind that if you want things to go great then just stick to one person! And respect your partner and the love of each other by staying faithful, no cheating.
- Communication: Excellent communication is essential. There is nothing worse than having miscommunication problems. It is important to know how to communicate one’s thoughts, feelings, and opinions to that special loved one if you want to be understood when there is conflict or when there is the need for you to give your opinion on something. Often times partners argue or go for days without talking because of a misunderstanding such as “He/she did not call me today. That means he/she does not care about me. Fine I won’t care either.” This kind of thinking allows for conflict to arise in a relationship because one is not allowing the other person to explain his/her self. Therefore, it is important to let your loved one know how you feel about a situation rather than making your own assumptions.
In conclusion, there are a thousand more essentials needed for a healthy relationship but regardless of anything one must learn to love and accept one’s self first before anything else. Consequently, if you make that relationship one of your priorities and give it your all it is sure to turn out a healthy one, in my opinion. Nevertheless, never stop loving!
