5 Ways To A Loving And Healthy Relationship.
December 22nd, 2009, Posted by Eddy AnkrettThe way to a loving and healthy relationship is through sharing both the good times and the bad times equally. There has to be give and take, as well as respect and understanding. There has to be a willingness to see the other point of view and to be able to empathise with your partner. Love naturally wants to do all of these things, so, why do so many relationships go wrong?
Often it is not the sudden cataclysmic break up that ends relationships. It is a slow decline that starts at no easily defined point in time and slowly erodes what was once a good and healthy relationships that had two happy people at its core. Knowing the typical signs of what can go wrong is often a good way to know how to avoid that slide into unhappiness. Here then are 5 ways to a loving and healthy relationship.
1. Trust has to be at the centre of any good relationship. When one partner loses the ability to trust the other, a certain erosion takes place. Things may be patched up and all may seem fine, but underneath there lingers the thought that if he or she could break the trust once, it could happen again. Trust cannot be bought. It has to be earned, which takes a lot of time and effort. That hard earned trust can be destroyed in a single second. For a relationship to last, work on building up good, solid trust.
2. Honesty is essential in any good relationship too. Through honesty comes trust. When one partner knows that he or she can rely on what they are being told, it goes a long way to building up a better relationship. Honesty is transparent. There are no hidden agendas, or untold situations. Honesty is quite simply all there is, warts and all.
3. Respect comes from being the best you can be for the other person. They will respect you if you try to do everything in a way that is for the good of the relationship. There is no selfishness in someone who is truly respected. They give willingly, and as a result they receive greatly. Respect takes a long time to be gained, but it can be lost in an instant. If you are respected, treat it as something special that you really need to keep hold of
4. Understanding of the other person goes a long way to building up a good lasting relationship. You have to listen to the other person and understand their point of view. It’s when we cannot understand each other that things break down. It’s when we don’t want to understand each other that it becomes too late.
5. Giving is better than receiving, for with giving you will always receive. Give willingly in you relationship. See it as a kind of investment for your future together. Those who give are usually in it for the long haul. They get so much back that they never have to think about receiving. It just happens, and the relationship stays good.
