Relationships are a funny thing, they’re all something we’ve had to deal with in our lives, some good, some bad, and we think that more often than not, the bad just end up getting so used to struggling with something that they don’t know how to get past it. They are about compromise, about really trying to understand what the other person wants, and about being yourself.

In general, a relationship can be an amazing thing. They’re the glue that makes us feel whole and connected to other humans. But unfortunately, we sometimes don’t treat them as they deserve because we don’t appreciate them.  Many relationships are unfulfilling, like a movie that doesn’t end the way you thought it would or even something you expected it to be. But the majority are fulfilling and even transformational. The most successful can last years and years and years! 

A relationship is a two-way street, and that means it’s a two-way relationship. It’s about being there for each other and investing your time in making the relationship work. It’s about the times you spend together – that first date, that first kiss, that first argument. It’s about the times you spend apart – those times when one of you is busy or traveling, and the other one has stuck at home alone. It’s about the times you spend together when it’s not working – when one of you is pushing too hard, when one of you is getting too jealous, when you’re not listening to each other when you’re too stressed, and on and on. That’s what it means to be in a relationship. All of those feelings are completely natural within a relationship, and relate back to it being about compromise, trust and compatibility. 

Every relationship starts out new and exciting. No one knows quite how it will turn out, and you don’t know each other very well yet. In the beginning, you are learning about each other, and without a strong bond or connection, you can’t stay together, the more you learn about each other is crucial to a successful relationship. It’s important to iron out all the minor red flags at the start, because the positives will soon outweigh the negatives.

Love is a very complicated emotion that can make or break a marriage. It can be the most beautiful and exciting feeling in the world, or it can be the most painful and despairing. When you fall in love, it’s like a song you can’t get out of your head. You can hear it in the lyrics and the melody, and you can’t help but sing along. When it comes to love, all relationships have ups and downs, but a strong bond keeps a relationship strong.

1. It’s no secret that commitment is at the heart of a good relationship, dedicating your time to your partner is a good relationship habit to get into, put them first in almost every circumstance, but remember it is all about compromise. Do not hamper your own well-being in the process of pleasing somebody else. We all know our partner’s quirks, but instead of stressing out, try putting your relationship first by making a point of showing them you care. It’s a simple way to show your partner that they have your support.
2. A lot of people tend to overlook their partner’s positive qualities; they just assume that they already have all the good qualities themselves. But it’s important to acknowledge your partner’s good traits to keep the relationship strong. For example, a study found that when couples complement each other regularly, they are more likely to be satisfied with their relationship.
3. If you’re like most couples, you’re probably all too aware of the fact that you have bedtime routines that often include turning off the lights and other bathroom duties. The fumbling about can leave what should be a snuggly night’s sleep in jeopardy. To make matters worse, your partner isn’t going to be in the mood for a snuggle either, which can lead to tiffs in the morning. Going to bed at the same time with your partner is a good habit to have.
4. A caring, sensitive partner is great for your wellbeing, but if you’re not sure how to express your feelings, there’s no one to blame but yourself. This is why showing your partner that you care can be so important in a healthy relationship.

Showing care and concern is a good habit for any relationship. When you show concern for your partner, you show them you care about them and want to be on their side.
