KEY TO A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP

Though there is the belief and theory of individual differences but there are some basic and relatively constant principles that cut across board.
I might not be a relationship expert but am just going to take you on a ride about the key to a healthy relationship.

Firstly, what is relationship? Many of us keep saying I'm in a relationship without even knowing the actual meaning of it. Well, sourcing prime dictionaries,  relationship is the connection between two persons, it can either be by blood relation or a romantic/emotional relation, but we are putting our focus on the romantic relation part here. Lol..

Now we would be discussing how this romantic relationship can be a healthy relationship.

A healthy relationship is when two persons develop connection based on the following :

1. Mutual Respect :

Respect they say is reciprocal.

Mutual respect is the foundation for any relationship, by having mutual respect for each other, partner must be able to clarify the boundaries, needs and wishes. Partners should learn to treat theirselves honorably, listen to each other and value their points.

2. Trust :

Trust is a super important part in a relationship but most of us struggle with this for one reason or another. We really can't demand or prove trust but it's a vital choice we have to make to keep a relationship healthy. Lack of trust damages a relationship so i would advice you to kill the doubt and learn to trust your partner.

3. Honesty :

Without honesty they say love is lost, and honesty they say is the best policy. 

Honesty gives a great deal of comfort, it isn't about telling the truth always but telling the truth in a way that your partner would hear it and benefits from it.  This goes a long way to having an amazing relationship. 

4. Support :

In terms of support am not saying you shouldn't assist your partner when they are broke o, apart from financial support there are other forms of support. Sometimes in a relationship, we really want to feel that someone is always there for us when things ain't just going our ways. Having such emotional support can go a long way in maintaining a healthy relationship 

5. Good communication :

I believe good communication can also play an important role in a healthy relationship.  Partners should be able to discuss stuff bothering each other and learn to seek the opinion of their spouse this can go a long way in building a solid relationship and when a partner is angry you should watch out for the things you say and shouldn't say and you should be able to know the appropriate time to communicate. 

6. Avoid little quarrels :

Little quarrels may be unavoidable, maybe avoid unneccessary quarrels or avoid staying angry with each other for too long. 

7. A sense of playfulness/fondness :

Learn to indulge in some playful act, relationship shouldn't always be about sex. You can also tease yourselves and call each other funny names, this could lighten the mood in the relationship always.

8. Vacation :

It's advicable to change environment once in a while, ladies love exploring so taking your spouse out can actually make d affair worth staying put.

9. Surprises : 

Ladies love surprises, you can actually spoil your partner by taking her out to any cool spot to relax, get her amazing gifts or probably surprise her by giving her that gift she longs to have. you shouldn't always allow her to request for the outings.


Other ways to maintain a healthy relationship would be listed below:

10. Quit nagging

11. Learn to tolerate 

12. Give her money : 

I say give her money.. Lol
