Do you know what is the secret of happiness ?
Harvard Study of Adult Development is one of the world's longest running studies of adult life which has proved that actual happiness lies in our relationships.
Robert Waldinger, director of the study, said " The finding of the study is that our relationships and how happy we are in our relationships has a powerful influence on our health. "
So to live a longer and happier life we need to take care of our relationships. We need to build them strong and healthy.
1. Accept the differences
We are all different in this world. Everyone perceives the world in his own way. You have to understand and accept this truth. You may have problems or disagreements but you can discuss it together and work it out by accepting each other's differences.
2. Speak up
Good communication is the key to any healthy relationship. If you have any desires, thoughts or feelngs then express it openly. Don't expect the opposite one to guess what you're thinking. If you express yourself then there won't be any confusions and things will be much easier.
3. Listen up
When you listen up to what your partner says or expresses, it will make him / her feel understood and valued, which is ofcourse very important in a relationship. Try to listen without interrupting and judging the opposite one.
4. Give your time
Spend quality time together not only over phone calls or video calls but also face-to-face. When you talk face-to-face, you can express your feelings in a better way and hence it can help strengthen your bond amd make you feel happy and loved.
5. Respect each other
A healthy relationship also demands respect for your partner. When you treat each other respectfully it makes you feel more valued. If there is any conflict going on in your relationship, don't abuse or blame infact resolve it respectfully.
6. Build trust
If you wanna spend your whole life together then you'll have to develop trust towards each other. To love someone truly, you need to trust him/her. Without trusting your partner you can't feel safe and hence there will be no healthy relationship.
Not all relationship is meant to last lifetime. But those which you have or will have always keep them alive, keep them loved. Because in the end you will be happy only if you maintain happy and satisfying relationships.
