There are no hard and fast rules for healthy relationships. If you have the right combination of emotions and a healthy amount of experience, it should be okay to say yes when your heart says no. You can even learn to say no.
Relationship advice is easy to come by. The problem is, that most people don’t know what makes a healthy relationship and how to maintain one.
I’ve been in relationships that lasted less than a week and ones that lasted 10+ years. I’ve also been in relationships where my partner would leave me for another man.
So I know a thing or two about love and relationships.
I wanted to share some tips to help you navigate your romantic relationship with confidence, grace, and peace.
Most of us have serious emotional issues with our relationship with food. Overeating, indeed is just one of many factors that may contribute to depression. Still, it’s also true that food is the single most potent trigger of negative feelings in most people. We’re not talking about a tiny fraction of people here, but about the vast majority of people in the world who experience eating as a trigger for sadness or loneliness, or anxiety.
How to make an excellent first impression
I’ve made wrong first impressions before. I’ve been flattered and disappointed, but mostly, I’ve been left confused.
How do you know if someone is attracted to you? How can you determine if you’re attracted to someone else? Is there an objective way to measure this?
There is no “scientific” method to find out, but the answer is simple.
First impressions matter.
The first thing you notice about someone is how they look. If you’re a guy, you may think of your first impression based on what you see in the mirror.
On the other hand, a woman tends to base her first impression on what she sees in the eyes.
It’s true. Women often make a snap judgment based on how someone looks, which is why it’s crucial to first impressions.
In this case, your appearance is the key to whether or not someone likes you.
The importance of being present
Relationships are hard. Some of us work long hours and have families to care for. Most of us don’t have time to go out on dates and have fun.
But if you want to stay in a healthy relationship, you must put yourself out there.
We’ve all heard the saying, “It takes two to tango.” But when it comes to relationships, the phrase should be “It takes two to dance.” If you want to be in a happy, healthy relationship, you need to be in it, and your partner needs to be in it.
You need to be available, attentive and engaged, and they need to be as well.
This is how you find that perfect balance and ensure you are both comfortable and connected. 2. You don’t always have to agree on everything. When you go out for a night on the town, you may feel you need to agree with everything your date says or does. You may think it will make them more comfortable, but this isn’t the case. If you feel you need to agree with everything your partner says or does, you don’t enjoy each other’s company very much. When you go on a date, you’re there to have fun and want to feel like you’re having fun with someone else.
What happens when you’re not there
Relationships are tricky things. It’s hard to understand how something so important and personal can go wrong. I’ve been on both sides of the spectrum.
But several red flags should give clues as to whether your relationship is in trouble.
Here are just a few:
1. You’re arguing all the time.
2. You spend more time with your phone than you do with each other.
3. You’re constantly talking about sex, but you don’t seem to care much.
4. You’re having an affair.
5. You’re afraid to talk about the future.
6. You’re afraid to commit.
7. Your best friend has just dumped you.
8. You’re not spending quality time together.
9. Your best friend is the only person you see.
10. You’re angry all the time.
Communicating what you want
While I am a firm believer that communication is vital in any relationship, I also believe that communication doesn’t have to be formal. I think that “formal” communication is usually a form of “informal” communication.
Communication is probably your biggest hurdle if you’re looking for a healthy relationship.
I’ve seen many relationships fizzle out because of miscommunication.
If you’re in a relationship, ask yourself if you’re communicating about your needs. If you aren’t, you may be losing out on opportunities to make your relationship stronger.
