THINGS YOU NEED TO DO TO MAINTAIN A GOOD AND HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP

For a successful relationship to be obtained, there are some things the both partners need to do in order to make this happen. Some of which include building a foundation of appreciation and respect. Focus on all the considerate things your partner says and does. Happy couples make a point of noticing even small opportunities to say “thank you” to their partner, rather than focusing on mistakes their partner has made.

Focus on each other’s interests so that you have a long list of things to enjoy together. Try new things together to expand mutual interests. Introduce a pattern of apologizing if you make a mistake or hurt your partner’s feelings. Saying “I’m sorry” may be hard in the moment, but it goes a long way towards healing a rift in a relationship. Your partner will trust you more if he or she knows that you will take responsibility for your words and actions.

HERE ARE SOME WAYS YOU CAN MAINTAIN A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PARTNER

1. Let one another know what your needs are.

2. Please realize that your partner will not be able to meet all your needs. Some of these needs will have to be met outside of the relationship.

3. Be willing to negotiate and compromise on the things you want from one another.

4. Do not demand that a partner change to meet all your expectations. Work to accept the differences between your ideal mate and the real person you are dating.

5. Be aware of what you and your partner want for yourselves and what you want from the relationship.

6. Try to see things from the other’s point of view. This doesn’t mean that you must agree with one another all the time, but rather that both of you can understand and respect each other’s differences, points of view, and separate needs.

7. Where critical differences do exist in your expectations, needs, or opinions, try to work honestly and sincerely to negotiate. Seek professional help early rather than waiting until the situation becomes critical.

8. Do your best to treat your partner in a way that says, “I love you and trust you, and I want to work this out.”
Just try to make your partner happy, it’ll make sense!
