7 Relationship Tips For Healthy Couples

The following are relationship tips that will help those in relationships become healthy couples, and for those who are already healthy couples will help them maintain the relationship. I hope you enjoy your read.

1. Desire to make your partner feel good about themselves.

It is not one partner’s duty to build up the low self-esteem or lack of self-worth of the other, but those with a relatively healthy sense of self must participate in activities that build each other up.

It can go a long way to be conscious of how much you criticize your partner and strive instead to indulge in positive feedback and authentic compliments. Criticism may leak out every so often, but it shouldn’t be the dominant type of input you give or receive.

2. Do things together that you both enjoy..

Although “date nights” are widely provided as a tip for struggling couples, every week’s burden and duty of forced time together can zap the pleasure from what is supposed to be enjoyable.

Try to come up with activities you really enjoy doing together instead of compulsory date nights and do more of those.

3. Have a healthy competition

Happy couples, for the most part, get along well. One hundred per cent of the time, no two individuals can agree, but those that are a good match for each other are usually in agreement on everyday activities as well as broader or longer-term plans. It is recommended that couples try to say “yes” as much as possible to each other’s suggestions.

Of course, this does not extend to cases in which a partner feels unsafe or as though a boundary is being crossed. Still, it can have major positive effects on strengthening a partnership by moving to agree-ability in places where it is acceptable and stable.

4. Communicate your love physically

As relationships mature, affection often gives way to physical contact avoidance, particularly if a betrayal or other life event has occurred that has caused a couple to grow apart.

It is recommended that you start small and in private for anyone who might need some ice-breaking. When you walk by them, place your hand on your partner’s arm or back, or commit yourself to kissing them in the morning or before bed at night.

5. Validate each other

Security is a key component of a healthy relationship, and a key part of feeling secure is emotional security. When they are distressed, practice listening to your partner without giving in to the temptation to fix, solve or analyze things.

“No feeling is invalid, so even if you do not agree with the point of view of your partner, when they are upset, you can always say, “I hear you,” or I can understand why you would feel that way,” or I can say this is very difficult for you. Validating your partner unconditionally lets them know that you are, and are on their side, a safe ally. In terms of setting up a safe relationship, this can work wonders.

6. Keep things Interesting

Healthy couples are concerned with being attractive to one another even as time passes. This is not only about the physical appeal; it also refers to intellectual and energetic appeal. If you don’t speak to a friend about the drama between colleagues for hours on end, what makes you think your partner is interested in listening to it?

It is proposed that couples make attempts to remain appealing to each other. Bring fresh ideas and insights, consider talking about things that really engage your partner, and act as you care about what they think in general.

7. Forget Perfection

You have to note that not all the most stable couples are perfect. It is simply not possible to believe one hundred per cent of the time that all of our needs will be met. Unrealistic expectations can be toxic to relationships, so an advice to add to these relationship tips for maintaining a healthy relationship is making room for imperfection.
