Relationship - Essentials of Healthy Relationships

Relationships are important in our lives.

Healthy relationships are ultimately what is most valuable in life. Developing healthy,

nurtured loving and caring relationships and friendships are one of the most fulfilling gifts

you can have in your life. Developing healthy relationships is essential. It's about people.

It's about caring, commitment, loyalty, love. It's what you remember and want to restore at

the end of your life. A beautiful relationship can bring untold love, appreciation, joy and

ecstasy. On the other hand, a broken relationship with someone dear can bring untold

misery and pain. Sydney Smith has put it aptly:

" Life is to be fortified with many friendships.

To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence"

Here are 6 ingredients for healthy relationships that we should strive to develop in every

relationship, especially those close to us, our close and even business relationships. 

1. Acceptance. 

Empathy and Respect for the Other Person. Essentially, it is love. Love is much deeper

than a feeling. Love is a commitment we make to people to always treat that person right

and honorably. To understand and accept the other person as he is. 

2. Fulfilling of needs.

"You can have everything you want in life if

you help enough other people get what

they want out of life."

A healthy relationship helps meets needs. We serve – and get in return –

without consciously and eagerly expecting, of course. It will come - mutually and naturally. 

3. Open and honest communication. 

" Communication is to relationships what breath is to life" The key to communicating is to

be a good listener, have something good to say and express yourself well. Project warmth,

empathy and caring. By telling what we think and feel, it enables us to be able to connect

with another person. It enables us to make a connection. Both listening effectively and

communicating what we feel is essential. 

4.Stickiness

Patience and Loyalty. We are humans and humans make mistakes after all. And it takes

time to change. Often, those who give up on relationships too early or because the other

person isn't perfect, often forget that their next friend, their next spouse or business

partner, will not be perfect either! And those who have gone through major turmoil in their

relationship and emerged with patience have emerged stronger after the crisis. 

5. A Common Purpose

Working together, building together, failing and succeeding together – while pursuing a

common purpose - that is what relationships are made of.

"To associate with other like minded people in small purposeful groups

is for the great majority of men a women a source of

profound psychological satisfaction".

Aldous Huxley.

Find people with whom you have common purposes with. In your current relationships,

find a common purpose to look forward to. It will gel and create long lasting joy and

benefits. 

6. Fun

Fun brings enjoyment to the relationship. Often, this is forgotten or neglected in our

family and spouses. Especially when we take the relationship for granted. We have to

remember to consciously create fun situations and moments that we will remember with

amusement and gratitude for a long time. Like family fun time and special moments

together… Having and developing all these takes time. But it is the most rewarding activity

one can have. And you'll be so grateful you did at the end.
