Every relationship
is unique. Individuals go into relationships for various reasons, some for fun
and others for marriage and mutual connection. Regardless of these reasons, individuals
who get included, want a relationship where they are companions with their
accomplices.
Building a healthy
relationship is like cooking. If you don’t include a traditional and necessary
ingredient, it can change the taste of the meal.
The following are
the steps to take to build a healthy relationship:
* Communication
The first step in
building your relationship is to ensure that you are on the same page. Make
sure you understand each other, your needs and expectations. In a relationship,
you have to learn to communicate well with your partner as this helps you to
understand who you are dealing with. Make your message clear and be sure your
partner understands it.
It isn’t just for
you to talk but also listen. Listening is an effective communication skill that
will help your partner open up and be more honest. When you really listen,
you’ll hear the subtle intonations in your partner’s voice that will tell you
if something is amiss. It doesn’t mean changing your opinion but can help you resolve
the conflict by looking at a common point of view.
* Trust
On issues
surrounding trust, there are people who are not comfortable with the idea of a
long-distance relationship. These set are of the opinion that this type of
relationship can erode trust. However, there are success stories of people who
were engaged in long-distance relationships. Learn to build yourself up with
trust, it doesn’t matter if it’s a long-distance or close relationship. A
relationship without trust is a time bomb. Trust means you can entrust your
life with someone without looking back.
* Compromise
In a relationship,
conflicts are unavoidable. However, you can come to an agreement in resolving
it via compromise.. It helps balance you and your partner needs by considering
both positions. Healthy compromise helps you and your partner grow together as
a team. It shows you have a common goal in mind. Compromise isn’t selfish.
*Peace
While people assume
peace is an abstract term, it is something that many do not realise comes from
within and is their willingness to allow it reign in a relationship. Apologies,
admitting when you are wrong, making an effort to change and respecting your
partner are key in a healthy relationship. If you want to have peace in your
relationship, it starts with you.
*Love
Love isn’t a
feeling, it’s a choice. The decision to stay in love or out of love lies with
you. That stated, a relationship needs continual love. You can demonstrate it
by giving out gifts, creating time for each other, shopping. Contrary to
popular opinion, to win in love, it has to be a give and take situation. It is
not only the responsibility of a guy but both genders can contribute to it and
express love the way you can.
A popular quote
states, “ Actions speaks better than words.” You can start with things you know
your partner or spouse would love and do it with a positive mindset and not out
of obligation to him or her. You can express it by cooking a meal, doing the laundry,
among others.
*Gifts
* Physical touch
Nothing is more
impactful than the physical touch of your partner. Some partners feel more
connected and safe in a relationship by holding hands, hugging and kissing.
