Everyone’s relationship is unique, and people come together for many different reasons. But there are some things that different good love relationship have in common. Knowing the basic principles of healthy love relationship helps keep them meaningful, fulfilling and exciting in both happy times and sad.
Staying connected with each other. Some couples get stuck in peaceful coexistence, but without truly relating to each other and working together. While it may seem stable on the surface, lack of involvement and communication increases distance. When you need to talk about something important, the connection and understanding may no longer be there.
Don’t be afraid of disagreement. Some couples talk things out quietly, while others may raise their voices and passionately disagree. The key in a strong love relationship, though, is not to be fearful of conflict. You need to be safe to express things that bother you without fear of retaliation, and be able to resolve conflict without humiliation, degradation or insisting on being right.
Keeping outside connections and interests alive. Despite the claims of romantic fiction or movies, no one person can meet all of your needs. In fact, expecting too much from your partner can put unhealthy pressure on both of you. To stimulate and enrich your romantic love relationship, it’s important to preserve connections with family and friends and maintain hobbies and interests outside of the relationship as well.
Open and honest communication. Good communication is a key part of any relations. When both people feel comfortable expressing their needs, fears, and desires, trust and bonds are strengthened. A big part of good communication is nonverbal cues. For a relationship to work well, each person has to understand their own and their partner’s nonverbal cues or “body language.”
