5 Ways To Keep A Healthy And Happy Relationship With Your Partner
Relationship Tips: We spend our whole lives looking for “the one” to love and cherish. And yet sometimes, we lose the love of our life like sand from a tight fist because we start taking their presence for granted. A relationship is not only about falling in love with the one person you feel loved and cared for; that is just the tip of the iceberg. If your partner feels like you're drifting away after or your love has changed, then your relationship with that person can also alter, to the extent that they decide to leave and find the love they need again.
A healthy and happy relationship looks easy, but it takes consistent efforts and conscious action to sustain the relationship. And many falter in taking care of the person they fought the world for.
In this article, we explore five simple yet often overlooked ways to keep a healthy and happy relationship with your partner.
Talking It Out
The emphasis laid on communication in a relationship is not overhyped. Taking things out can solve most of the problems or even budding resentments in a relationship. In most cases, two people grow discontent with each other due to the unsaid dissatisfaction and contempt with each other that erupts like a volcano, damaging the ties of a bonds.
Learn each other’s love language
Talking to a person who speaks Hindi in Latin would have no use in the end. Similarly, showing love and concern to your partner in ways you feel right will not fulfill their need for companionship. Learn the love language of your partner to communicate your feelings to them in the best way possible.
Schedule Time For Each Other
Prioritising the people you love should not be an afterthought. Consciously schedule time for your partner in your calendar, like how you set alarms for your business meetings. This way, you actively get to learn about your partner’s current happiness and issues, making them feel seen and heard. It is also a great way to build emotional intimacy as you head out of the space you physically stroll around every day.
Do not fear conflicts
Conflicts are not a bad thing. In fact, they are a way to manage hurdles together and come closer to each other. Many believe a happy and healthy relationship has zero conflicts, but on the contrary, conflicts express the concerns of the two people on the topic.
Physical Intimacy
An affirmative hand hold, an assuring shoulder grab, a tender kiss, and a warm hug are all ways to express that you see them, and your care through physical contact. Physical intimacy plays a big role in building emotional intimacy, so do not overlook it, but also do not overdo it. Learn to read your partner’s physical language to work on physical intimacy better.
