7 Tips for a Healthy Relationship
Let’s face it: All marriages won’t be happy all the time, BUT, they should remain HEALTHY all the time.
Say that line again, friend.
Now, if you want to learn 7 tips for a healthy relationship, then keep on reading.
My husband and I have been married almost 4 years (come on November), and these are the key things I’ve learned through trial and error to create a healthy marriage.
It certainly didn’t come overnight, nor did it come without WORK. We have constantly had to work at our marriage to get it to where it is…and we’re still learning.
But here it goes:
- Laugh Often– laughter honestly is medicine in itself. Laugh at any and everything. Finda show together to laugh at. Just act goofy around the house and laugh.
- Travel together– it can be to the next state over if you want, but get out and see the world…TOGETHER. You can experience new cultures TOGETHER. See where I’m going with this? The good thing about this is, you can continue to learn NEW things about your partner.
- Communicate-Okay, this one is big because it can make or break your relationship. Literally communicate about EVERYTHING. I always ask my husband if there are things I’m doing well or things that he would want me to do more of. Usually he’ll give a response, and I’m able to work on those things. This strengthens our relationship and makes our marriage stronger.
- Admit when you’re wrong-this kind of goes with communicate, but I gave it its own category because this can be so challenging for some. Say it with me, “I WAS WRONG.” There, you said it. Now, fix the issue.
- Learn Your Partner’s Love language-We often make the mistake of loving our partners the way we want them to be loved instead of how THEY want to be loved. I’m sure by now you’ve heard of the book, “The 5 Love Languages,” by Gary Chapman. I HIGHLY recommend you read it if you haven’t. My husband and I have completely different love languages, and that’s okay, but now we know how the other NEEDS to be loved.
- Compliment each other– one nice compliment a day keeps the arguing away! lol, but no, really, GAS YOUR PARTNER UP FRIEND! He/She will LOVE it.
- Show Appreciation-take the time to do something nice for your loved one. Surprise them with something to show appreciation and put a smile on their face.
