The KEY to a happy relationship

In happy relationships, partners try to empathize with each other and understand each other’s
perspective instead of constantly trying to be right. Controlling your stress and emotions boils
down to a simple concept: “Keep your mouth shut and don’t’ act out”.

Healthy relationships involve honesty, trust, respect, and open communication between
partners, and they take effort and compromise from both people. There is no imbalance of
power. Partners respect each other’s independence, can make their own decisions without fear
of retribution or retaliation, and share decisions.

You fight, forgive, and forget each other wrongs. In a healthy relationship, conflicts,
disagreements, and fights are not a deal breaker. Just because you disagree or argue with your
partner doesn’t mean that it’s time to just break up and move on. Rather the conflict is seen as
an opportunity to learn more about the other partner and grow together in love and harmony.
Always remember that the one who is much closer to you, who you love and who loves you is
more likely to hurt you because he or she is closer to you than anyone else.

No one is perfect including you. If you know and understand this fact, you should easily forgive
each other their mistakes and discrepancies. Forgiving and forgetting means letting go offences
and hurts; not making snide remarks at them all the time.

How happy we are in our relationships has a powerful influence in our health.
