The basics of a successful relationship

Nothing can bring more happiness to life than a truly beautiful relationship. Understanding, appreciation, and love that such a relationship can bring are hard to understand if they have not been felt by their own person.

Similarly, many people will not only discover that, but also that nothing can bring such pain as a broken relationship with someone dear to you.

Certainly relationships are extremely important elements of our lives, good and bad, and the great part is that we can do a lot to increase our chances of having successful relationships - rich in happiness, love and understanding.

These are the three most important things underlying most human relationships, but they are not the only ones. Read on, then, a list of all 8 things that build successful relationships.

Love - now, everything depends on the definition you have assigned to love. Love does not just mean you like someone; When you say that a person likes you, you say what you feel and what you think about that person in a general way, but when you say that you love someone, you do not necessarily talk about what you feel for them.

Love is much deeper than a simple feeling; It is a commitment we take towards some people who rely on giving and treating others with honor and respect.

Yes, for those whom we will be very close to, we will feel that pure love, but we need to extend the definition we have attached to love so as to include its purely engaging aspects.

It is time to reexamine what we mean by love, it is time for healthy relationships, to love everyone. Maybe we do not like all people (and you do not have to like it all!), But we have to love them as defined above, that is, to treat them with respect and honor.

Helps other hearts - Zig Ziglar says frequently that "in life, you can get everything you want if you help enough people to get what they want from life." The concept to which he refers is to have a heart and a life focused on helping other people, for by helping those around you, you help yourself. Even the Bible exposes this beautiful concept: considers the interests of others to be more important than yours, a fundamental thing for healthy relationships.

Sincere communication - Behind every successful relationship lies honest and open communication, important not only because it allows us to say what is inside of us but also helps us to build strong relationships with other people. If a person feels something, only by communicating another person can find out and feel the same (maybe not at the same intensity but similar).

Sometimes we will be the ones who talk, sometimes we will be listening, but whatever the status, the goal of communication will be to build and strengthen the relationship. That is why communication must be an important goal in any relationship - you have to communicate, tell what you think and most importantly, to say what you feel.

And do not forget: if you communicate, you can move on, but if you communicate well, you can do miracles!
Friendship - a simple concept: relationships work better if we are friendly with others. Be friendly and jovial in order to build strong relationships in the face of time. It's simple, no one wants to sit next to a tough person, so the more friendly and cheerful you are, the more people you want to have a long relationship with you and the advantage of both.

So cheer up, smile, say a gentle word, treat people with friendship and see that all your relationships will progress.

Patience - people are people, no one is perfect, and those around us will constantly disappoint us; And we will disappoint others. Most often, relationships, friendships, marriages will be destroyed only because insufficient patience has been invested in their construction. Therefore, be patient with others and do not be afraid to ask the patience of those around you.

In addition, recent studies have shown that those marriages that are going through major problems but will eventually overcome will be much stronger after, which means that your patience will, at some point, be rewarded.

Loyalty - represents commitment and dedication to another person. Unfortunately, loyalty is far too common in modern relationships, and most people have even forgotten what it means to be loyal.

Up to a certain point and only to a small extent, we can say that the consumer mentality has affected our loyalty. No one is a loyal customer of a particular product, which has extended to relationships (of all kinds). One is to change the company and the used soap model, and another is to change friends or partners together.

Often, the thing we most need is to dedicate ourselves, to be loyal to one, and let the relationship go further, become deeper, stronger.

A common goal - another important element of successful relationships. For a lasting relationship, it is vital that partners have a common goal. To realize how important this is, think of an activity you have been doing with other people (a project, a sport, a campaign) and remind yourself how well it was when you felt your common goal Bind you and unite.

It also applies to relationships - finds someone who has common goals, build the relationship together, with care and attention, and then receive all the gifts that he will give you.

Fun - all successful relationships must also have a component or entertainment element (it does not necessarily mean that kind of noisy fun, although it is also the case for certain couples). Fun has pleasure in relationships, which is extremely important, but also very easy to forget or ignore.
