Healthy Relationship
It is easier to have a healthy relationship if both people are happy and on top of things in their life, but life is not always this simple. People have to put some work into keeping a relationship. There are times when one partner has to be helpful to the other partner, and to give more and get less. This balances out over time in relationships that are fair and equal.
Having good relationship skills makes this process much easier.
A good relationship must have the following attributes:
Friendliness
Fairness
Respect
Trust
Loyalty
Honesty
Faithfulness
Love
Intimacy
Care and compassion
Time for each other
Spiritual closeness
Thanks to all my sponsors, you are too much
Friendliness
It is a way of showing other people that you can be a nice person to be with. People who are friendly with each other have a much better time than those who live together but are enemies over some things.
You might wonder why friendliness is on a list of relationship skills. Well, friends do things for each other without complaining. They look out for each other. Friends accept each other’s weaknesses. Friends listen to each other.
You can gain a lot by being friends with your partner, who will then more likely be friendly to you.
Fairness
Fairness means being just and even in things. This means giving people the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming that they are guilty.
To be fair means to listen to what your partner has to say without wanting to stop and give your opinion. People who are fair with each other do not use violence or abuse to get their way. Both partners are equal in a fair relationship.
Respect
When you respect someone you show that you have high regard for that person. To respect your partner means that you admire them for who they are, and you value them. People who are treated with respect tend to feel good and their self-esteem and confidence grows. If you treat you partner with respect you are showing that you honour your partner.
Trust
People who trust each other believe in each other. They have confidence in each other, and know they can rely on each other to be faithful.
To trust your partner is to accept without needing proof that he or she is being truthful.
Trust in a relationship means that both partners will always be there for each other, at all times including when they are apart for either short or longer periods.
When you trust your partner you never need to worry about what he or she may be doing.
Loyalty
Loyalty in a relationship means to be faithful and true to each other at all times.
When two people are loyal to each other they will not allow others to put their partner down in any way, and they will never say critical or nasty things about their partners. They stand up for their partner, and stand with their partner.
Partners who are loyal to each other will stick together through good times and hard times.
Honesty
Honesty means being sincere and truthful in everything you do. People who are honest with each other are open about things, and genuine. They do not keep harmful secrets from each other.
Honesty in one person encourages honesty in another person. When two people are honest with each other their confidence in the relationship grows.
If you show that you are honest, your partner is more likely to trust you. Honesty means that sometimes you have to admit to mistakes.
Faithfulness
When you are faithful to your partner, you are free from having to hide anything because you have nothing to hide. Faithfulness is a priceless gift that you can give to your partner.
To be faithful means that you would never do anything to hurt or betray your partner. Sometimes it is hard to remain faithful when temptation comes your way. Your ability to resist temptation is a sign of your strength of character, and it shows how much respect you have for your partner.
Love
Love is often seen as the most important part of a relationship. Love between two people means many things. There is patience and kindness, and they never give up on caring for each other.
Love is a feeling of warm affection and fondness towards the other person. There is also a feeling of tenderness. If you love another person you like to be with that person, and enjoy their company.
Love means to accept the other person warts and all. If you truly love your partner you may find it easier to forget about things from the past that normally might make you jealous or angry.
Intimacy
Intimacy in a relationship is about the things that two people share with each other, and no one else. There are some things that are private between two people. Intimacy is that special closeness where things are known without having to be said, like knowing that your partner’s back needs rubbing without being asked.
Intimacy includes the sexual part of the relationship, but sex is just a part of intimacy. Intimacy is the unspoken bond between two people that allows them to feel good in each other’s company. Read more about intimacy.
Care and compassion
To have care and compassion for your partner is to feel concern for them, and to show interest in what they do and say. When you care for someone you take notice of that person, and of what is happening to him or her.
There are times when one partner needs to look after the other, for instance if that person is sick or under some kind of stress. To care for someone is to attend to his or her needs, even if you have to put yourself out to do so.
Time for each other
It is hard to have a good relationship without spending time together. People say that communication is the key to relationships, and it takes time to communicate in a way that leaves both partners happy and satisfied.
Time for each other means taking time to listen to what needs to be said. This means putting aside other things so that nothing gets in the way of talking and listening to each other.
To make time for your partner means that you might have to give up or put off doing other things that might be more attractive.
Spiritual closeness
All people have a spiritual side to their nature. Some people are very aware of their spirituality, while others are not. No matter what, when you are in a close relationship with another person your spiritual sides will meet.
The spiritual closeness of a couple is what binds you together. At times when you are apart you can be united in spirit by thinking of each other.
If you are angry with your partner, your spiritual side can help you to forget about yourself and think about your partner in a positive way, perhaps even by saying a short prayer for him or her. Your spiritual closeness will help both of you through the hard times.
Thanks for reading through, may you have a everlasting relationship in your homes. Remain healthy and blessed
