Secrets to Love and happiness
Never be afraid to say sorry, don’t stay mad for long – and make sure you have fun.
“You’ll know when you find that special someone. Everything will be easier with them by your side.”
Read advice for others on maintaining strong relationships, whatever life throws at you.
“I knew I’d met somebody special so, when we said goodnight, I asked if she’d like to go to a dance together the following evening, and it went from there,”
he key to staying happy long-term is good communication. “You should be able to share everything with one another, good or bad,”.
“And never go to bed on an argument. There’s really no need and all too often it’ll only have been about a trifling matter anyway.”
“Exactly,”. “Never be afraid to say sorry – no matter if you feel you’re in the right or wrong. And if someone apologises to you, be gracious: accept it and draw a line under it, or apologise too if you’ve responded in a way you shouldn’t have. That way you can both put it behind you and move on.”
Advice to younger couples is to share your feelings and build trust. “With good foundations you can weather the hard times – however few and far between – and enjoy every moment of the good ones,” .
A strong relationship boils down to three things: love, loyalty and respect. “You’re both entitled to your own opinions and you don’t always have to agree,” she says. “But it is important that you respect each other’s views, even when they differ.”
Being healthy is more than just eating well and exercising
Healthy relationships involve honesty, trust, respect and open communication between partners and they take effort and compromise from both people. There is no imbalance of power. Partners respect each other’s independence, can make their own decisions without fear of retribution or retaliation, and share decisions.
What is happiness?
Happiness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment. While happiness has many different definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction.
How To Make Love Last: 3 Secrets
The beginning of a relationship is amazing. But often, it starts to fizzle out later on…
The things you used to love about them start to annoy you. They don’t listen. They don’t seem interested in meeting your needs. It doesn’t feel reciprocal anymore.
What’s the problem here? We all want to know how to make love last.
1. You’re A Terrible Mind Reader
Beck says one of the key problems is that you’re an awful mind reader — but unfortunately that doesn’t stop you from trying to do it over and over again:
“She’s quiet. She must be angry at me.”
“He didn’t take out the trash. He must not love me.”
There could be a zillion reasons why people do what they do. But we think we know the answer. And we’re usually negative. And we’re usually wrong. And this is how many relationship problems start.
2) The Wrong Kind Of Bias
Your relationship may have clinical depression. Yes, relationships can have psychological disorders just like people do.
When individuals think negatively and assume the worst, it’s called depression. And when you do this in a relationship, it has the same negative consequences
3) Unspoken Rules
Tell me if this sounds like a prescription for a successful relationship to you:
I have a list of rules. But I’m not going to tell you what they are. If you violate them, I’m allowed to get angry. Also, even though I’m not going to tell you what the rules are, not knowing the rules is also a violation and I’m allowed to get angry at you for that too.
Hardly sounds fair, right? But we all do this at times. We have things we expect but never make clear.
And I know what some of you may be thinking: “But ____ really should be obvious. They should know that. I shouldn’t have to say it.”
Sum Up
Here’s how to make love last:
- You’re A Terrible Mind Reader: Stop assuming you know why they did something wrong. You don’t. Want the answer? Ask.
- Rose-Colored Glasses Are Good: If you’re going to try to read minds, assume the best. Otherwise, why the heck are you with this person?
- No Unspoken Rules: They can’t read minds either. Stop thinking “it’s obvious.” If it was obvious, you would not have this problem.
- Symbolic Meanings Confuse People: To you “being late” means “you don’t love me.” To them “being late” means “being late.” Clarify your interpretation or they’ll think you’re insane.
