The Untold Secret to a Happy Relationship
Written by Paige Gersten
If you browse the web, you will probably notice that there are many relationship articles published. This is because there are many people who are not satisfied or have issues on their current relationship. And they seek for solutions in every word written on the article. So, what is it that makes a relationship last? Or what makes a happy relationship? The answers are found within us.
Perhaps, you envy a friend who has a six year relationship with his/her partner, but you have to remember that a long term relationship doesn’t always signify a happy bond. Sometimes a person has to stay in a relationship just because they consider something not only love is the reason. But for happy couples a happy relationship doesn’t always mean you have to stick together 24/7. They stay because they want their bond to always be satisfying and meaningful. In short, they want to be happy in it.
According to people in lab coats, communication, social support, trust, and faith in each other are the factors that make a relationship last for a lifetime. However, they don’t make it enjoyable or meaningful. The best relationship is the one that endow with satisfaction and not prioritizing the relationship itself which is an old cliché. The difference is, if you are satisfied in a relationship means you are happy and have plans to grow with it while putting the relationship first means full of doubts and selfishness. What you should prioritize is yourself, after all, your partner is already a part of you, and hence if you love yourself first, then you can give unconditional love to your other half without any doubts.
Today, people enter in a relationship to make their lives more interesting and meaningful. In other words, relationship in modern years is about self expansion, self growth, contentment and completing your life with someone that makes you a better person and vice versa. Relationship should not perceive as a way of feeding your own wants and needs without allowing the other to grow and become more dependent. You don’t accept someone in your life just to fulfill your own happiness. A happy relationship is composed of a couple that is ready to share and sacrifice everything they have for their other half while allowing each other to grow free of doubts and full of love.
