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,
Kenia Morales
