6 Tips To Maintaining A Healthy
Relationship
by: Kenia Morales
Yesterday was my marriage anniversary and my
husband and I were reflecting about the day we got
married, and what has kept us together. So, I will
like to share with you some of the things that
maintain our relationship running.
If you noticed I wrote “working” on our
relationship because our marriage is not perfect. I do
not believe there is such a thing. Yes we do get
along, share some of the same ambitions and at the
moment we do not have any major marital problems.
Disagreements we have them all the time but, hey my
brother and I were raised in the same household and it
is actually weird whenever we agree on something; Let
alone someone who grew up in a totally different
environment. Here is a list of the little things that
keep us together:
•Maintaining good humor! My husband like many hates
to get up on the mornings however, he likes it when I
also get up with a big smile and just talk to him
about general stuff over a cup of coffee while he gets
ready. It is surprising but, most of our best
conversations arise at this time.
•Patience: Do I need to say more? Honestly some
times I get a little cranky, when tired and somehow I
convince myself it is all his fault and poor guy
having to put up with me. Hey, sometimes I have to be
patient too! It is not easy telling a guy to remember
to put the toilet seat down all the time.
•Little details: We both love details and please do
not start thinking about the most expensive gifts.
This can be anything from saving a piece of your pie
for him to buying a simple gift or showing
appreciation etc, especially when it is not an
important date such as a birthday or anniversary.
•Support each other: Yes he is always repairing a
computer, stuck on TV or a video game but it surprises
me how he comes back to planet Earth whenever I need
him.
•No back stabbing: Imagine you found out your
partner tells his family every single flaw you posses?
Even worse add a couple of extra ones. How would you
feel? or how about you call your family and friends
every time you have a small problem? Do you thing they
will think less of him? Believe that he does not
deserve you? If you need help there are always
professional counselors.
•Respect for each other: He accepts me the way I am
even when not on the same terms and I do the same for
him.
Remember I am not a relationship expert! These are
just some tips that have worked for us so far but,
remember always treat your partner the way you want to
be treated.
Best of Luck,
