trust me when i tell you. when a person loves you more than their ego, everything flows. no conversation too uncomfortable. no bare minimum task too great. no reasonable ask too unreasonable. they will move mountains for you because they want to. your happiness makes them happy.
If you’ve got a good woman, you’d be a fool not to hold on to her, and treat her with the care and love she deserves.
A woman that cares for you, pours into you, respects you, honors you, follows your leadership, and helps you on your mission, is a rare blessing from God.
Marrying someone who gives you best friend energy, makes you laugh, never stops flirting with you, and loves you a little extra on the days you need it the most is top tier.
Relationships aren’t just about attraction or compatibility. A healthy/strong relationship isn’t about never disagreeing or arguing with your partner, it’s about how you both operate in those situations. Are you being soft, respectful and showing that there’s a deep commitment?
COMMUNICATION IN A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP...✍🏾
People who are in a healthy relationship talk to each other regularly and listen to each other too. Misunderstandings can happen, and that can lead to people being upset, hurt or confused.
It is best to be clear about what you want to say. Making a real effort to understand what the other person is saying also helps.
Double checking that you have understood correctly can avoid misunderstandings. Just because you love each other doesn’t mean you will be able to communicate well or know what the other is thinking.
You need to do the following things to encourage more open communication in your relationship:
- Set aside time to speak to each other, without interruptions.
- Put yourself in the other person’s shoes.
- Don’t rely on the other person to guess what is going on, or how you are feeling.
- Listen to each other, and make sure the other person knows you are listening to them.
- Let the other person finish what they are saying.
- Talk about things honestly and respectfully.
- Try not to be too defensive.
- Stay calm and try not to attack.
Communication is not just talking, it also includes non-verbal communication i.e., your posture, tone of voice, facial expressions etc.
All these can tell the other person how you feel. Non-verbal communication can even undermine what you’re saying if your behaviour doesn’t match your words.
If you’re in a relationship, there are chances that you’ve had your fair share of tense moments. It’s not abnormal to have arguments. Clashing is a completely normal part of being a couple.
But the key to any lasting relationship is to work toward building a stronger, more intimate bond.
Communication is important because it fosters trust and connection. In order to have an open and honest relationship with your partner, you must be able to freely communicate in a healthy manner.
Whether you’re just starting out as a couple or have been together for years, these strategies can help you both improve your communication skills.
