Are you concerned about your relationship? | | | Pinky Goswami
Human's are social by nature and therefore "relationships" become pertinent. It is not only essential to make a relationship but it is vital to keep them smooth and sustaining. Relationship can give the utmost happiness and it can be also one major reason of stress. To make a relationship last long there are some crucial factors which needs to be paid attention to. Do you accept your partner the way he or she is? Any partner is bound to have behaviours, habits, personality types that may not be very easy to tolerate. But let us understand that individual difference exists. If we go by the law of being unique, then it will be comparatively easy for the partners to accept the partner as he or she is. This enabling the person to remain as they are is a huge "stress buster" and will lead to lesser conflicts. So Acceptance is a key to healthy relationship. If we accept a person the way he or she is then we will never want the person to change. Most relationship dies an early death because we try to change our partner. It is important to note here that when we start a relationship with a partner it is because of our liking or falling for the way the person is. But soon after we start changing the very being of the person. This starts suffocating the relationship and it gets toxic. The second most important aspect is Respect. Most relationship ends in a sour note because partners slowly stop respecting each other and such a relationship can never last long. They start taking each other for granted and the basic respect which is vital for the survival of any relationship is soon found to be missing. Trust is one of the major requirements for a long lasting relationship. Trust is the "Lifeline" of any relationship and if it is broken, then the relationship is sure to die. Honesty is another vital aspect of a healthy and long relationship. Honesty builds trust. But are we able to keep up to this honesty. If we are brutally honest then it may equally lead to hurts in relationship. For Eg. Even if you are not in a mood for a certain outing, you still go out without confessing that it is really not enjoyable for you. Then how honest should one be in a relationship. Discretion- using a good judgement about what to reveal and what not will keep the relationship healthy and going. Honesty towards loyalty is crucial. Another factor is Empathy. Many sources define empathy as a person's ability to step into their partner's shoes and experience their partner's experience as their own, therefore coming up with a better understanding of their feelings. Communication is the "heart beat" of a relationship. If this beating stops then the relationship will die a natural death. We need to communicate clearly to avoid misunderstandings that may cause hurt, anger, resentment or confusion. When we communicate, we can say a lot without speaking. Our body posture, tone of voice and the expressions on our face all convey a message. These non-verbal gestures of communication can tell the other person how we feel about them. Therefore what we communicate verbally should be in congruence to our non verbal gestures. It is essential to listen to your partner and it is not always important to win in a conversation. Accepting the opinions and views of your partner will strengthen the bond of relationship. Relationship can be averted from becoming toxic if we care to follow the above given rules. |
