10 tips to a healthy relationship

This post is slightly different from the other one, after all variety is the spice of life. I have come up with 10 essential tips necessary for a healthy relationship in an easy-to-read infographic.

You may or may not agree with all of them, but hey; freedom of speech, right?

I am not going to go into further details but will give my insight to all of them listed and ill be brutal about them so don’t hold it against me.

1.    Gratitude. Focus on what you have and not on what you don’t. Be grateful for your partner and be mindful of how lucky you are by having someone by your side, take me for example; I’m still single, no one loves me.

2.       Communication. Talk, talk and talk again. If there is something bothering you don’t give your partner the silent treatment as far as I know we are not mind readers? That’s just one example.If there is something worrying you why not talk about it instead of being pissed off about it.

3.       Time. No matter how busy you are if you care you will make time to see that person, even if it’s just to have a coffee or to see each other’s faces for 5 minutes. You will make time unless you don’t care then you will make excuses.

4.       Arguments. If you are going to start arguing with me about how I didn’t put the toilet seat down or something very stupid that can’t be changed like -you were sleepwalking and didn’t even acknowledge me. Are you for real?

5.       Relationships aren’t forever. The sooner you accept this the better your relationships with people will be. Your time on Planet Earth is limited make the most of every single day, your partner might not be there forever even if they wanted to, try to read between lines here, you know what I’m saying right? Don’t waste time and love fully.

6.       Be honest. Why can’t people these days be honest with each other? Just be honest if you are in a relationship, there’s nothing worst that finding out your partner lies to you. Even if you think that lie will hurt them, you have already hurt them by not telling them the truth in the first place.

7.       Do what you feel. If you don’t feel like going to the movies with your partner, then don’t. But say it so they know. Hug, kiss and love each other regardless of others opinions. Carpe Diem.

8.       Don’t go to sleep in a bad mood. It will just ruin your night, make up instead and go to bed feeling happy with your partner, always.

9.       Respect. Respect each other, if you don’t respect each other then I don’t know how that is a healthy relationship. Respect before anything else. Peace.

10.   Trust. This is another important one too, if you are always playing games to try to catch your partner out then I don’t understand how that is healthy? Please explain. Just trust in each other and if you feel like you are losing someone’s trust, speak to them and solve it.
