How can you make your relationship healthy?
1. Proper communication: sharing thoughts and feelings with others is the most important step towards building a healthy relationship. Always remember to maintain a balance in communication. If you always speak about your achievements and success, people will take it as your egoism, which can be a hindrance to your relationship. So always try to listen and understand the feelings of others. Greek philosopher, Epictectus has said a beautiful line: "Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak."
2. Trust and honesty: In healthy relationships, you should never lie. Communication should be based on honesty and trust. There should be respect for each other.
3. Detachment: whenever we develop an attachment we expect the person to behave in a way we want. When they don't we feel depressed and try to alter them. However a good friendship based on detachment means we should accept the person as they are and should never try to change them. So we should not be upset if they wish to go a different way.
4. Learn to forgive: No one is perfect in this world, so in case you're dear one commits something wrong and admits their mistake, always try to forgive them with true heart. And when you forgive also forget the entire experience.
5. Unconditional approach: You cannot make a relationship with a desire of getting something from other person. If you make friendships with the hope of some benefit, you will find that people will have a similar attitude to you. This kind of relationship can only result insecurity and jealousy, it can never be healthy. True relationship is all about mutual support and good will, irrespective of any personal gain. Inspite of focusing on negative shades of your partner, try to focus and appreciate your partner's positive behavior.
6. Don't over analyze: Excess of everything is not good, in the same manner don't discuss or analyze your relationship more, this will just make it messier. Sharing a small moment of humor can often do more benefit than several hours of discussion.
7. Concern and care: Without love and care any relationship is incomplete. A small gesture of concern can really make a difference. Remembering important dates like birth day of your partner can give them a feeling that they are special to you and that's what makes the bonding strong.
You deserve to be in a healthy relation so always choose friends and life partner according to your choice and try to strengthen the bonding.
