Tips for a Positive and a Healthy Relationship
1. Communication
communication is the transfer of information from one place to another. In relationships, communication allows you to explain to someone else what you are experiencing and what your needs are. The act of communicating does not only helps to meet your needs, but it also helps you to be connected in your relationship. Learn to talk to each other in a polite manner.
2 Respect:
Listening to your partner (like actually listening, not just waiting to speak) and trying to understand their perspective is a key way to show respect in your relationship. Even if you disagree on the next ACTION or if you’re Team Igbo and they’re Team Yoruba, respect your partner’s choices and opinions. Don’t try to persuade them to change their mind about things that are important to them, like going abroad for a semester or where they want to live post-graduation. In a healthy relationship, both partners will have mutual respect for one another.
Ways To Develop Mutual Respect In A Relationship.
- Don’t make it all about winning. Sometimes, couples get lost in an endless whirlwind of fights where they keep a scoreboard of the winner and loser.
- Trust your partner.
- Spend some time apart
- Take advantage of your strengths
- Don't shy away from the truth.
3. Boundaries
We all have personal boundaries on what makes us feel good, comfortable, safe, etc. In a healthy relationship, you should feel 100% comfortable communicating those boundaries and know that they will be respected (and vice versa for your partner). More generally, the consequences of not setting healthy boundaries often include “stress, financial burdens, wasted time, and relationship issues, which can cause mental distress”. In other words, a lack of healthy boundaries can negatively affect all aspects of someone’s life.
4. Trust
This is the most important part in any relationship. All healthy and positive relationships require mutual and unguarded trust between partners. Any relationship without trust is like a car without tire, no matter what the car can never move, as such the relationship can never have peace nor last. many people lack trust because of the nature of persons they're, they think their partners are like them, which made their conscience to be disturbing them nearly all the time. "Those who are thieves think everybody is". For you to have a, healthy, positive and long lasting relationship, you should learn to trust your partner.
5. Support
This is one of the best things about being in a healthy relationships, having a supportive partner who you know has your back. We should learn to support our partners to reduce their burdens, it's not necessary that your wife must do everything at home, cooking, washing, sweeping, fetching of water, going to the market, and all of that, you should learn to support her for her not to get older than her age. don't be a liability rather, be an asset to your partner. As a wife, if your husband brings 50k, you should bring at least 15k to support him, not because he married you, he must take your financial loads and that of your family, learn to support each other so as to have a peace of mind and for your relationships to last...
