Keep your expectations realistic. Remember that people are not perfect and no one can meet our expectations 100 %. We all have our merits and demerits. It is natural that sometimes people can disappoint us. In a healthy relationship one accepts anther person not trying to change them.

Lead conversations with each other. Conversation is the key to success for a healthy relationship. Listen to your partner; really be with him/her during the conversation. Never plan what to say when your partner talks, listen. Don’t be afraid to ask, if you think you’ve missed the point. Ask for opinions. Open your communication channel, show your interest and share information.

Be flexible. Most of us tend to keep people and situations the way we would like them to be. However, a healthy relationship means that the changes and personal growth are allowed.

Think of yourself also. You try to please your partner, and there is nothing wrong about that, however, don’t forget about yourself. Mutuality rules a healthy relationship.

Be dependable. If you have responsibilities, complete them; if you promised to do something, keep your promises. This will ensure your relationship is trustworthy.

Fight right. No relationship exists without conflict. However, this doesn’t mean you don’t like each other; you just disagree on some points.

Show your warmth and/or affection. Warmth is highly valued by almost all people in their relationships. Emotional warmth is always present in a healthy relationship!

Keep your life balanced. It is only you, who can fill your life. Though our close people make our lives more satisfying; they cannot create this satisfaction in us. Learn to be happy with your own life, try new things, be open-minded and get more opportunities to share with your close people and friends. Remember that healthy relationships are dependant!

It is a process. It takes time to learn each other better and build a relationship. Healthy relationships can be learned and practiced.

And last, but not the least, be yourself! Life gets much better and easier when you don’t have to pretend. Sooner or later the truth will come on the surface anyway. Healthy relationships exist between real people and not their images!
