When it comes to maintaining relationships, we often find ourselves being stuck in toxic or imbalanced ones. At such times, it becomes necessary to learn the skills of having a healthy and good relationship.
A healthy relationship is one in which both the partners have an equal say when it comes to making decisions, both are equally invested in the relationship and both respect each other as individuals. When developing the relationship your partner, contrary to popular belief, love is not enough.
To truly have a happy and healthy relationship there is much more that is required from both ends, be it being communicative, proactive or vocal. There are certain things to follow to keep the spark alive and to have a wholesome and nurturing relationship with your partner. Here are 7 ways to have a good and healthy relationship.
Be vocal
After a point of time in your relationship, you might expect your partner to know you and your needs inside out. But what if they don’t meet up to your expectations? So, it is always better to directly say what you want instead of expecting them to guess what’s on your mind.
Show interest
Go beyond the small talk, even after a long day at work, and make efforts to show interest in your partner’s life by asking them questions about their day.
Check in with each other
Make it a habit to check in with each other after a period of time, to know where you two are in the relationship, what went wrong and how it can be made better. This will prevent any communication gaps and unmet needs.
Apologise wholeheartedly
After a heated argument, the easiest way to get back to normal is to say “Sorry”, without even realising the meaning of this word. Whenever you apologise, do it from the heart and not just for the sake of it.
Be present
When your partner is telling you something, listen to them and be present in the conversation instead of absent-mindedly nodding your head.
Understand them
After a fight or a difference of opinion, don’t let your ego get the better of you and understand their point of view too, even if it doesn’t match yours.
Be vulnerable
You are programmed to only show your tough side and to not talk from the heart. Be it during an argument or a discussion, develop the habit to be true to yourself and show your vulnerable side to your partner by acknowledging and expressing your true feelings.
