Creating Healthy Relationships That Work

Relationships determine the quality of one's life whether good or bad. You only have to open your eyes and look around and see that healthy relationships are very rare indeed. People tend to suffer, staying in relationships that don't work because they are afraid to be alone. Like most worthwhile things in life, creating a healthy relationship will be work. It takes time to build a strong relationship, sometimes only a few moments to ruin it.

Building a healthy relationship from the onset is the best route forward. Just like a house needs a solid foundation, a relationship requires the same rock solid platform. Couples need to respect each other, it's the blending together of separate, but equal lives. It takes maturity and respect to comprehend that nobody is perfect in life so relationships need NOT be absolutely perfect, but should bring happiness to each partner. Couples in healthy relationships don't point fingers at each other when things go wrong, they look for compromise and ways to move forward without grudges.

Healthy relationships create lasting bonds, it goes far beyond any shallow needs. Each partner is invested profoundly in making the relationship work. There's no room for selfish acts or behavior, each partner puts the others' wishes first. The couple can find ways for their partnership to work regardless of societal constraints. Both partners should understand that circumstances will always change, their relationship is an on-going evolution. They must be prepared to grow and change, building an even stronger bond as time goes on. Challenging situations and events should provide an opportunity for growth and strength rather than weakness and break-up. They should encourage each other to be successful without a hint of jealousy. They are not afraid to say 'I am sorry.' The relationship is not an intense competition or battle of wills, but a source of respect and trust in each other. Whenever conflict arises, they find a way to talk it out, but still give each other the space required, most importantly, don't go to sleep upset.

Creating a healthy relationship requires strong and open communication. Each partner must develop powerful sense of intuition and perception. They support each other emotionally and become best friends as well as lovers. Healthy relationships also have healthy sex lives too, profound and deep love has no boundaries or limits. However it's not an obsessive love, it's one founded on respect and pleasing each other. Both partners should take turns to offer creative suggestions to keep their love alive, it's very easy to fall into a routine. Lasting passion also requires spontaneity and curiosity. It goes beyond just listening to your partner, but also firmly grasping their point of view. It's a total win-win relationship, each rejoices in the others' victories. Couples can overcome any differences to forge healthy and lasting relationships regardless of race or background. If each partner is willing to commit wholeheartedly to the relationship, there can be no limit to their strength of bond to overcome any obstacles. A healthy relationship grows from strength to strength as they learn how to make each other truly happy.

I believe that every relationships are different. Due to many aspects - e.g. Religion, Customs and many others (to name a couple). Having said that, I do believe that having a healthy and long-lasting relationship(s) starts with Y-O-U. Which means, you need to be responsible, and be accountable for what happens in your relationship. It does take 'two to tangle'. So, in order for all that to happen, you must be reliable, and honest. No matter what. It only takes one screw-up to change everything. Once a TRUST is burnt, it is very difficult to gain the trust back. Not to mention, if you are not honest with yourself. You cannot possibly be honest with your SO (Significant One). You also must have good and broad Communication skills. If you can not reach her, you will never be able to understand her the way, she wants you to. And, she will not be be honest with you with good communication. And that leads to "Mixed Messages" and Communication breakdown. Which will lead to a very short and poor relationship/Marriage.
