10 Ways To Have A Happy Relationship
5. Divide chores
Household chores are a topic of debate in most households. If one partner has the tendency to avoid the everyday chores, the entire burden comes upon the other partner and leaves them with no time for themselves. This causes misunderstandings and arguments. To sort out these problems, divide chores among both the partners. For instance, you and your partner can divide who makes dinner on what day. The day one makes dinner, the other would do the dishes. Divide the other chores on the same lines.
6. Be a patient listener
Most of us are not good listeners. To listen, one must pay attention to every word, pay attention to the emotions attached with the whole dialogue, not to interrupt, and maintain eye contact. This makes the speaker feel good. So, listen to your partner carefully to make them feel good. This also makes the speaker feel that you care for them. An important aspect of a healthy relationship is being there for your partner in times of need and for that, it is important to be a patient listener. For instance, if your partner had a rough day at work, try and get them to sit down with you over a cup of coffee and encourage them to speak their heart out. Do not interrupt or give your opinions. This would help them unburden their feelings and feel good.
7. Don’t forget physical intimacy
After a point of time, people often tend to give physical intimacy a miss. Whether it is boredom, tiredness or some other reason, many couples, in the long run, fail to enjoy physical intimacy. In such a situation, you may get a feeling that your partner has grown bored of you. There are also chances that you may grow suspicious of your man. To maintain a healthy relationship, keep a balance between both physical and mental intimacy.
8. Give space
In an intimate relationship, both the partners depend on each other for mental and physical satisfaction. Some people get so intimate that they tend to lose their individuality. Irrespective of the intimacy, a healthy relationship means giving each other personal time when they are on their own. Space is an important aspect of a relationship, as there are certain things where you or your partner would want to retain their privacy. This would include indulging in a passion or hobby, being with their friends or just some time alone to get sorted. For a healthy relationship, both the partner should give space to each other.
