Any type of relationship dynamic needs to have a strong foundation to weather the storms of life. We’ve all witnessed what can happen in a relationship when trust has been broken through infidelity or someone can’t communicate effectively – it drives the relationship into the ground.
Below are four tips to support a healthy relationship:
Developing the environment to have open and honest communication will go a long way in managing stressors or problems that inevitably arise. If one member in the relationship does not or is not capable of this, then relationship therapy may be needed to create this safe place.
All relationships need to have honesty and trust in order to thrive. If these are not there, the relationship will crumble. Honesty and trust take time to build and moments to shatter. Don’t expect these qualities to happen overnight.
Quality time together can be made a priority even in long distance relationships. Human beings need to feel connection to others in life – this is no different in a relationship. Doing small things like grabbing a bit to eat or reading together can go a long way in keeping the relationship healthy.
Compassion and forgiveness are two huge qualities. Compassion can be shown both towards your significant other and towards yourself when a mistake is made. The same goes for forgiveness.
Even healthy relationships can experience turbulence at times. Your relationship isn’t on an island. There is help available. Seeking relationship counseling when times are great or when things are rough can each have benefits of their own.
