Healthy Relationship  Tips

Healthy relationships are effortless, if both the people involved take equal effort to maintain it．Here are a few healthy relationship tips to help you build the dream of your life．

1.                         

Communication is an art of putting your thoughts into words, so that they are exactly understood by the opposite person． Communication does not mean going on talking unnecessarily． This is the first mistake that couples make． One person in the relationship assumes the role of talker and the other becomes the listener． Their roles remain so forever． The talker  forgets to listen and the listener becomes used to listening and not reacting． If your partner takes time to open up, help them out by asking questions． So hear them out and give proper reactions．You will obtain the benefits of a healthy relationship through increased confidence in both of you to open up and hear things out．

2.                      

Regular conversations take the form of heated arguments amongst many couples． Understand that not every statement needs a reaction． Maybe a certain reaction may lead to an argument with your partner． Just agree with whatever ii is and there will be no harm done． Try and reach a  mutual（相互的） agreement． If that's not possible leave the topic for later． If you give it time, maybe both of you will be able to think about it rationally．             '

3.                        

Every single day is a blessing． Each moment with your partner is a moment to learn something new and discover the finer nuances （细微差别） of your relationships． Each one of us keeps changing every day, the circumstances around us change every day and with that our attitude also needs to change． The same applies when you are living with a person． Learning every day and taking every day as a challenge will help you perfect healthy relationship tips．

4.                        

This tip is especially meant for couples with children on how to maintain healthy relationships After a certain period, couples complain about romance being lost． To keep your relationship healthy, take some time out from your day-to-day routines to spend some quality time with your partner． This can be done as dinners, indulging in outdoor activities or just hanging out at a coffee shop like old times．

5.                      

         Respect has to be earned． It can only be earned only if you learn to respect． Often, one of the partners plays the role of a dictator to give orders, while the other simply follows． Both sides involved are equally responsible for this mistake, Learn to respect each other-and understand that both of you are equally responsible for the relationship．

Creating a healthy relationship takes equal effort from both sides． Sharing, caring, being     apologetic, forgiving and having realistic expectations are some of the important ingredients to the recipe of a healthy relationship．
