For Couples11 tips to have a happy relationship
These tips will go a long way in ensuring you have a happy relationship.
There are no definite rules on makes people have happy relationships, but there are tips that have worked for a lot of people.
Here are some:
1. You need to 'miss' each other once in a while: You
need to understand space is not always bad. The more time you spend
together, the higher the chances there might be friction. Space should
serve
2. Compromising is not a sign of weakness: You
have to meet halfway every now and then. It’s not about what you always
want to happen, or vice versa. You will get to learn how to understand
and become more open to what each of you wants. It’s what you two want,
and how you two will work it out.
5. You can't fix people. You
are in a relationship with them because you have accepted them for who
they are—for their dreams, their frustrations, and their annoying
mannerisms. When you are in a relationship, you will learn that you can
never fix them and that you have to let them be who they are. If you try
so hard to mold them into the person you want to be, then maybe they
shouldn’t be the person you’re dating.
6. Being comfortable isn’t scary. You
will learn how to become more open with them because that is what
relationships are all about. You are yourself when you’re with them, and
they will not judge you for that. If you need to poop, go tell them.
Being comfortable isn’t scary, it’s assures them that you are committed
to them.
7. Misunderstandings are inevitable. There’s
no such thing as a perfect relationship. It’s crap that people aim for
perfection. You will argue no matter what. It’s not healthy if you don’t
fight because arguments make you realize how much you want your
relationship to work. You cannot always agree on everything. That’s
bullshit. Fights will only be unhealthy if it’s already irrational and
if it happens on a daily basis.
8. You should never expect. It’s
not always about you. You have to realize that disappointments are
often caused by too much expectation. Being in a relationship will teach
you how to become more realistic, understanding, and patient. Your
relationship isn’t a movie. He’s not Patrick Dempsey or Josh Duhamel.
And you’re not just a girl standing in front of a boy waiting for him to
love you. Your relationship is real; there are no ‘cuts’ and ‘credits’,
you don’t have ‘scripts’, and what you do doesn’t last for two hours—it
lasts for how long you want it to.
9. You should stop being paranoid and trust them. Stop
overthinking, he’s not hiding anything from you. You have to start
believing in him because he also gets hurt whenever you think otherwise.
Trust is the hardest thing to give, earn, and do whenever you’re in a
relationship. But little by little you will get to learn how to give it.
Trusting someone is equivalent to loving them.
10. You will learn how to show them how you feel. It’s
easy to promise and tell them that you will always be there for them.
When you’re in a relationship, words will just be words. It’s going to
be how you show them and make them feel that they are loved. It’s how
you hug them tight after a long and tiring day at work, it’s the way you
kiss them on the forehead when they feel worried, it’s the way you
sincerely laugh at their silly old joke, it’s the way you rub their back
when it aches so bad. It’s the little things that count. It’s not how
elaborately you tell them how you will love them. It’s how you show
them; it’s how you make them feel.
11. And finally, it’s all about balance. It
may be hard to do all of these and know the perfect amount love to give
each other. Humans love things they cannot define. It’s not like
there’s a formula for a perfect relationship, or certain ingredients on
how you can make a relationship work. It’s all about balance.
