How Healthy Relationships Impact Your life?

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

~Lao Tzu

Relationships have always been an inherent desire of every human being. It may be romantic relationships, friendships or your family. Each alliance helps you to be healthier, have emotional and psychological wellbeing.

As Dalai Lama said, “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, Humanity cannot survive.”

While unhealthy relationships can stifle your life, healthy relations have an immensely positive impact. But what exactly does it look like?

A positive and healthy relationship can be between any two people who love, support and encourage each other. It always includes the following-

1. You both listen to each other

In any relationship, be it a Father-Son, a Couple or friends, listening is vital. Through listening, you tell the other person that you care for them. There are two ways, you either understand or respond. Trying to fix their issues is waiting for the response. And research says, people who listen to “understand” have more peace in their interpersonal relations.

2. You trust and give respect to each other.

Trust and respect are paramount in a healthy relationship. It allows both of you to feel safe and loved. The acceptance of your authenticity, freedom to be who you are, brings you closer than ever. This quote of French novelist Honoré de Balzac relates as he says, “The more one judges, the less one loves.”

3. Give time to each other.

Life cannot be all work. Giving time to the people you love is the best gift you can ever give. Your work can stay for a second or two. But those moments of togetherness, they will be cherished for a long time. You don’t need expensive trips or dates to be together. Try talking and more importantly listening to them. They have so much to say but not YOU to listen.

And while every relationship is beautiful in its sense of completeness, having a loving and supporting partner is a blessing. So today we are here to discuss five key benefits a healthy romantic relationship can offer.

1. Stress-free life

Couples in a healthy relationship tends to produce less cortisol. That indicates them to be less responsive to psychological stress. That emotional support which comes with having a partner gives you courage and prevents stress from harming you psychologically.

2. Better Healing Power

Karl A. Menninger said, ”Love cures people- both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.” Research suggests married people who undergo major surgery recovers three times faster. Having a partner to take your mind off the pain gives you emotional support which can help them recover with confidence in their ability to heal.

3. Healthier Lifestyles

They encourage you to have a healthy lifestyle and the love you both share, push you to follow a healthy diet or start your fitness routine. Their appreciation keeps the urge alive to stay fit and motivated.

4. Helps boost Professional Career

No matter how marvellous your professional life is going. There comes a time you feel exhausted with all the meetings, your boss and not being listened. Having a person who reminds you how awesome you are and listens to all your ideas and problems, de-stresses you and helps you focus more. The more your partner supports you in your career, the more you lead to better professional performance.

5. Encourages You to follow your Passion

Perhaps you both have some common interests. But still being different can have your passions in life. Couples having a heathy relation allows each one to strive for something that moves them. They do sacrifice their own time and at some point, personal interests to have their partner achieve their sense of completeness.

Every relationship is unique and special for each one who experiences it. Healthy relationship in its core is sharing a common vision of what exactly you want from it and where do you want to take it. This requires deep and honest conversations.
