 How to Have a Healthy Relationship
Read the tips. Then match the headings (a-f) with the tips (1-6)

1. a)Spend quality time with one another.

Even if you've been together for a long time, you should plan activities
with your partner, which are essential. You ought to set aside one
evening each week to be your designated "date night" and think of fun
things to do that you'll both enjoy. It's okay to spend some evenings
lounging at home, but you should also make sure to do things that take
you out on the town!
2.
You should explain each boundary or expectation to your partner and
get verbal confirmation that they understand and will respect each one.
Defining such limits should prevent conflict, and you ought to have a
basis for discussion if someone crosses the line. Boundaries could be
personal, social, or financial. For example, you should explain to your
partner that you value quality time with them, but you need at least one
night a week to spend with friends.
b)Be open to change.
c)Try new things and surprise each other.
d)Set expectations and boundaries.
e)Apologize and forgive one another.
f)Nurture outside relationships with friends and family.
3.
Keeping up with other relationships should help you maintain your
identity. Being in a relationship doesn't mean you're permanently glued to
your partner! You should balance your time spent together with time spent
apart; go out with your friends, spend time with family, and engage with
your personal hobbies. You ought to also encourage your partner to do the
same! So, the time you spend together is much more precious.

4. a)Spend quality time with one another.

Relationships can become routine quickly, so you ought to keep the
spark going by thinking of fun and creative ways to surprise your
partner. You should spring a small gift or romantic activity on them or
bring them on a spur-of-the-moment overnight getaway. You should do
something neither of you has ever tried to keep both of you engaged
and entertained.
5.
Mutual growth and change are surefire signs of a healthy relationship.
Change happens as a natural part of life, and relationships evolve too.
You should view each obstacle or major change as a chance to
strengthen your relationship with your partner, and you oughtn’t to let
your fears hold you back. You should embrace change and focus on
growing with your partner during your relationship's ups and downs.
b)Be open to change.
c)Try new things and surprise each other.
d)Set expectations and boundaries.
e)Apologize and forgive one another.
f)Nurture outside relationships with friends and family.
6.
You should recognize when you're in the wrong and apologize to your
partner. Be specific; acknowledge your mistake and how it made your
partner feel while explaining how you plan to fix things. If both of you
have done something hurtful, taking the first step should also make it
easier for your partner to follow suit and apologize, too.
