Tweet

When someone else’s happiness is your happiness, that is love.

The family is the foundational unit of any society. So marriage is normal and very important. People go into relationship with hopes and aspirations, that does not mean there won’t be challenges. Every union may go through hard times at some point in time. To have a happy relationship there must be commitment, good communication and a regular dose of affection.

These tips will certainly help your relationship.

1.      BE GRATEFUL TO EACH OTHER.

There will never be happiness in a relationship or marriage where partners lack this quality. No one is perfect, it won’t be out of order to see shortcomings in an individual. Show gratitude for the little things they do right, that will actually motivate them to work on the areas they are not doing quite well.

2.      LEARN TO COMMUNICATE.

Sorry, things will not work out well if you are a poor communicator or has no communication skill at all. Don’t just live with it. You have to work on yourself regarding this skill. For a relationship or marriage to thrive, there must be an honest communication of thoughts, feelings, needs and wants. You also need to be a good listener. Allow your spouse to express theirs.

3.  MUTUAL RESPECT AND AFFECTION.

Nurture your relationship with kind words. Communicate how you love your partner not only by words but by actions too. There shouldn’t be any room to take them for granted. They are supposed to be precious in your life.

4.      DISCOVER WHAT MAKES EACH OTHER HAPPY.

Don’t just assume. Remember you are different individuals with different attributes before coming together. The tendency to be subjective might be there, you don’t have to give in to it. If you take time to find out his or her happy button, your relationship will flourish.

5.      BE RESPECTFUL AND CARING EVEN WHEN RESOLVING CONFLICTS.

People allow their emotion rules them when they are upset. To have a successful relationship, you have to develop your emotional intelligence. One who is not in control of his or her emotion can be irrational to the extent before he realizes it is too late. If it requires taking time out to cool off first, rehearse what transpired before continuing, do so. Make a firm decision not to be disrespectful to your partner even in the heat of disagreement.

6.      LEARN TO STAY IN LOVE.

Spend time building your relationship. Even when you are not together find ways to communicate often. Couples drift apart when they no longer pay attention to each other. You need to spend quality time together to keep building your relationship. You can go on dates to have fun, not to discuss issues. These will keep your love alive.

7.      LITTLE CHANGES IN YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP.

Some times when people are in a distressed relationship they feel discouraged thinking that the damages will not be repaired or that the sacrifices required are too big to bring things to normal. Like they often say, be the change you want to see. It may be that, all you need to do, is to change your attitude and all will be well.

8.      DEVELOP EMPATHY.

Empathy means being in another’s shoe to understand what is going on around them. It is the identification of others' feelings while being aware that their feelings belong to them and are different from yours. They may not have the opportunities you had or grace you have. An empathic person will be more successful in relationship.
