Healthy habits lead to healthy relationships. It is essential to maintain these habits as a relationship can easily be broken without the proper treatment from either individual. It takes months and years to build trust, and it only takes seconds to let it fall apart so are you continuing to do the right thing? Look out for our 10 habits in a healthy relationship and if you’re attached, how many do you have?

Sleeping at the same time

Go to bed at the same time if you’re together. Don’t tell your gf goodnight and then proceed to surf Facebook. Hugging and cuddling are still important no matter how many years you have dated.

Finding common interests

Having a common ground is what brings people together. If both of you have different personalities and hobbies, it is essential to find a common interest to spend time and do something together. Doing things together creates a bond and connection and you’ll have more topics to talk about as well.

Small gestures and embracing affection

Sometimes you’ll forget about holding the door for her or offering her to carry the heavy grocery bags. These are the things you do when you first get together but as time passed you’ll not put too much effort in it. Embracing affection every now and then is a habit healthy couples should practice. It’s one of the ways to show your bf you still care and love him, or give him motivation when he’s troubled. A hug is what people needs at times.

Respect

Respect is a two-way thing. It’s mutual, and must be given when it’s due. You may joke around and make fun of your gf at times, but respect her enough to know what’s out of the limits for joking.

Have real conversations

Talk with your partner, a lot. Have real, deep and meaningful conversations. Don’t just talk about your day and gossip about your boss. Talk about your plans, your dreams, your likes, your feelings and any other random things that you’ve wondered about but couldn’t talk to anyone about.

Time apart

Spend time apart if you’ve been too clingy. Being together all day and every doesn’t help, it creates a problem. Do your own things alone and focus on it, get some time to yourself. Allow yourself to recharge, and also miss your partner when he or she is not around. The feeling of missing will keep you from wanting your partner more and appreciating when he or she is around.

Break routines

Having a routine relationship would eventually kill it. You go about doing the same thing everyday, sending a good morning text, checking up after lunch and a goodnight text. Spice up your relationship with surprises at times, suggest an usual date once in awhile to keep the spark and excitement there.

Focus on positive traits

Focus on your partner’s positive traits. Because as time passes, you’ll see more of his or her flaws. But bear in mind the positive traits he or she possesses instead of always picking on flaws.

Put your phones away

Put your phones away when you’re with your partner, because how demoralizing is it when he’s talking to you and you’re busy liking some other guy’s photo on Instagram? They don’t need to earn for your attention, you should give it to them.

Quality time, not quantity

Spending quality time together, not quantity. Spending the whole day together and doing nothing productive is not quality time. If you often find yourself just watching your partner do something for long hours or lazing together and doing your own things, chances are both of you are just accustomed to spending quantity time and not quality. You don’t want to find yourself being together just for the sake of it.
