You’ve been in a good relationship for a while, and it looks like everything is going well. You’re reading this because you want things to continue as they are. Well done!
In my opinion, a healthy partnership consists of seven elements. Keep an eye out for these seven factors to protect your relationship from potential dissolution:
Good communication
- Nothing is more crucial to a happy relationship than effective communication. Nothing.
- We must let our spouses know when they aren’t contributing to our happiness. We have to express our importance to our partners. It’s important to express our affection to our spouses.
- I cannot tell you how many of my clients find it nearly impossible to communicate their true feelings to their relationships. They fear the consequences and the act of exposing oneself.
- Just last night, a client confided in me that she felt alone and that her husband’s busy work was taking away from the hard effort they had both put into keeping their marriage intact. She declared that she would simply try to pursue her interests. I recommended that she express her concern to him about the outcomes of their diligent efforts seeming to be evaporating. Tell him straight what was going on in her life.
- They arranged to spend time together that weekend after she did and he understood. collectively.
Inside jokes
- Really, what? How is that possible? That is a very minor matter.
- Contented pairs resemble isolated small islands. They do, of course, have jobs, families, friends, and obligations, but they also have certain things in common. internal humor.
- Consider this. You’re at a family barbecue with your partner. Something is causing tension to skyrocket. Politics, maybe. And then your father-in-law says something, something you and your spouse have whispered about in bed at night, something he says all the time. As the statement is delivered, your gazes lock, and you instantly click. With a warm sensation in your stomach, you nod and smile, continuing with your day.
- Genuine love is about making a connection. And it’s a lot of fun to keep secrets. Therefore, having an inside joke—or the two combined—keeps couples closer than anything else.
Quality time together and shared interests
- Yes, we all have a lot on our minds and are under a lot of strain. However, you need to make the time to spend meaningful moments with your spouse. time spent engaging in activities that you both find enjoyable.
- We conquered via division in my marriage. I looked after the kids while my ex-husband worked hard at his job. All of our free time was spent with our family. We were left with only ourselves.
- We went from being the two of us in a relationship to the two of us working side by side, taking care of our kids, and running our family business.
- So decide something you two enjoy doing together and get started. Frequently. Despite all of life’s distractions, never give up on that love.
Promises that are kept
- Although they are typically created with the best of intentions, breaking them can have terrible results.
- Promises are related to confidence. Trust is lost when someone promises something and breaks that commitment. Making promises you can’t keep is preferable to repeatedly breaking ones you can.
- My client’s partner insisted on letting her see his children over and over. However, each time a meeting was scheduled, an explanation for its cancellation was always offered.
- She eventually lost interest in seeing his children and eventually lost interest in being with him. She had lost faith in him. And what is there without trust?
- Keep your word when you make promises. Recall how crucial they are to preserving confidence. and affection.
Two partners that don’t ignore one another
- Permit me to reiterate that. Never assume anything about someone.
- We focus all of our attention on that one person when we first fall in love. But as time passes, life can divert our attention, and we may begin to ignore the person we love. We quit tending to the relationship since we know they exist and we believe they always will. And again, the outcomes could be disastrous.
- I know this from my experience. Regardless of my terrible behavior towards him, my spouse consistently assured me that he would never desert me. Even though I meant to, I took him for granted as a result, and even though I had grand plans to behave differently, I never quite got around to it.
- And what do you know? He departed from me.
- So concentrate on the person lying in bed next to you. They might disappear one day, in which case, where would you be?
The right amount of sex
- Every contented pair has a sexual life that works for them. The ideal amount of sex for a couple to have is not precisely defined. Rather, each couple must choose what works best for them, discuss it, play around with it, and satisfy each other’s erotic desires in a way that gets them both excited.
- Even though she enjoys having sex with her spouse, my client’s husband wants to see her every night, and she just can’t handle it. He used to feel horrible when she would just brush off his advances, but I advised her to talk to him about it. After she expressed her feelings, they decided that she would be the one to start things off and that she would do it frequently. They are both glad that that worked for them.
- So cross that item off your list. Discuss your sexual life with your partner and come up with a strategy that will benefit both of you. It sounds enjoyable, doesn’t it?
The desire to make your partner a priority
- Yes, I am aware of it. These days, there are a ton of significant things in our life. One of the first things that springs to mind is making money. Another is ensuring our kids become productive adults. There is also exercise. and companions. as well as interests. as well as your phone.
- And they’re all significant. But when you’re single, you quickly realize that none of these things are important since you don’t have a caring, supporting companion.
- Put your partner first, then. Every day.
- While getting home for a date night is vital, work also matters. That fifteen-mile run on Saturday morning? Go ahead and do it, but think of spending the morning alone with your husband if you could. A girls’ night at the movies? Instead, bring your husband. Negotiable movie tickets are available. The cell phone? Set it aside.
- Think about all the benefits you might experience by giving your partner priority. Relationship, joy, sex, physical intimacy, kindness, and laughing. Possibly more beneficial to life than wealth, physical prowess, and kids who get all A’s on their SATs.
- To love and be loved is the only happiness in this life, wrote author George Sands a century ago. Never have words been more truthful. The universe revolves around love, and we must acknowledge this and do everything in our power to protect it. that we take the necessary steps to maintain a strong relationship.
- Thus, pick up the phone, give your special someone a call, express your love, make them laugh, and ask them to do something enjoyable.
