Being in love isn\u2019t the only thing that creates a happy and enduring relationship. Statistics show that almost one-half of all marriages end in divorce.\u00a0 This staggering statistic illustrates that the art of finding and maintaining healthy relationships might be an elusive commodity.<\/p>\n

What is the most commonly forgotten element of a healthy relationship?<\/strong>\u00a0 Surpassingly, the answer is quite simple.\u00a0 You must learn to love yourself before you can love someone else.\u00a0 Anytime you are not connected with yourself, or find yourself \u201clost\u201d in a relationship, you can be assured of unhappiness.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Here are the 6 Key Elements of a Healthy Relationship<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A relationship encourages individuality. Healthy relationships encourage partners to have their own interests, friends, and can have time of separation without fear of abandonment.<\/li>\n
  2. A healthy relationship invites growth. Healthy relationships are ever changing and bring new ideas, concepts, friendships, sharing new interests, and learning.\u00a0 If the growth stops, the relationship will become stagnant, boring, and distant.<\/li>\n
  3. A healthy relationship embraces good communication. It is a relationship in which it is safe to express feelings of all types, in an appropriate manner.\u00a0 Healthy relationships allow space to discuss your fears, your hurt, your grief,anger, and disappointment in a non-threatening way.<\/li>\n
  4. It is a relationship that builds self-esteem. Healthy relationships make us feel good about who we are as a person.\u00a0 It is characterized by living with your best friend, your cheerleader, and the person who builds you up.<\/li>\n
  5. It is a relationship that is built on a strong commitment to resolution. Healthy relationships, which are enduring, \u00a0are ones that find ways to negotiate, compromise, and handle conflicts and adversity.<\/li>\n
  6. A relationship is built on the 5 to 1 principle: Research indicates that in a healthy and enduring relationship, the partners give five compliments, statements of appreciation and positive comments to every one negative statement. Try it and you will see amazing change!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
