Recipe for a healthy relationship

yes i agree with you, there are many ways to keep our relationship healthy, because i just want to marry once in my lifetime. i have to trust him, and many things

I first want to say this... yes I am only 25 yrs old, but I have been with my significant other for almost 8 years and we have three wonderful children. I think that the recipe for a successful relationship is: Devoting all of your time to making the other person happy...sound ridiculous? Well think of this as long as both people are doing this, than you are both happy and taken care of... you see what I am saying.. Will this always happen? no, but it works if both people actually do it. this incorporates all that you have just mentioned. Because those are all things that would fit in to making one another happy.

I want a relationship based on trust and love,wanting to put my partners best interests first and he mine.Sometimes admiting you were wrong even if you feel otherwise who cares who is right and wrong does it really matter,on the day to day running of a home,as long as everyone is happy and secure in the knowledge they are loved as are the children or other members of the family.Working together to make a life and be happy.sorting out the disagreements quickly ,always realising the family is the core of life and nothing else matters.If you cannot afford the latest car or washing machine have what you can afford,not getting into debt.That can crush a relationship faster than anything else and above all be faithful to one another,make time for one another,love one another,that is preoisly what me and my husband have and want from our relationship.

Honesty is the top one for me. And its just not telling the truth, but being completely open. I am in the best relationship I have ever been in right now, cause we are both open and transparent with each other. If one of us is hurt by something the other says or does, we know we can talk about it and work it out, so with that the next most important quality in a relationship is communication. Being open with each other has bought us closer together...he is my best friend.

i think honesty is really the key ingredient..being honest doesn't just mean "not telling lies" but also about being open and transparent. For a relationship to be strong, both should be trusting and trustworthy. It's hard to establish good communication if one or both are not being really open.
