Principles for creating healthy relationships
id: 10054063

1. Trust and respect
Healthy relationships are built primarily on trust and respect. And manifesting them can indeed be difficult. Since at the initial stage we may have doubts, we don’t know who we are dealing with... and that’s normal. And it also happens that already in an established relationship, we think that we know better what is good or bad for our partner. A person who feels a constant need to control his partner remains unsatisfied in any case. Because our need to control often hides our fear, uncertainty and helplessness.
It will be easier to learn to trust your partner if you define personal “boundaries” at the beginning of the relationship. Be sure to talk and learn what is important to you: about yourself, your values, goals, principles and rules.

2. Balance between your interests and the needs of others
In some cases, situations arise when you give up personal interests in favor of another person, which can have a destructive effect on you and, as a result, on the relationship. But since each situation is unique in its own way and carries a certain lesson for each of its participants, for one person the solution will be to turn towards love. For example, a young woman gives up her career and leaves with her husband for his job. And for another, the solution will be to defend one’s interests, because the lesson will be to work through a character flaw - weak character, fears. For example, find some time for your favorite hobby. This is what development is all about. Indeed, it is not always possible to immediately figure out what to do.A sincere desire to find the best solution will help you cope with even the most difficult challenges in life.
3. Personal responsibility
Relationships become destructive when each partner tries to place all the blame for what is happening on the other, and neither is truly willing to admit that they were wrong.
Personal responsibility is an integral part of healthy relationships. Everyone is responsible for their actions and for the consequences that they will have to endure as a result of these actions. However, we are not responsible for other people's reactions to these actions. If we did not provoke the person consciously, knowing that we were causing him severe discomfort or causing mental pain. And we ourselves are responsible for our reaction to the actions of other people.
4. Honesty and openness
When partners are afraid to talk about their problems and solve them together, this often indicates a lack of knowledge that this is necessary and possible, as well as an understanding of HOW to do it (and this is what we teach in the project). In order to truly solve problems and grow together, it is important to articulate your beliefs, reasons for your actions, admit your mistakes, and pull your own grievances and fears out.
5. Acceptance
Many people create for themselves the image of an ideal partner. When meeting a person in life, they try to fit him into this image. Sometimes you hear the following phrase: “He/she is good, but lacks this and that. But it’s okay, I’ll get married and make a man out of him/her.”
Or they make attempts to remake themselves so that their partner likes them.
True excellence is in who we are.And self-acceptance and self-love play a big role in creating happy and healthy relationships. As well as a realistic assessment of the qualities of your partner, understanding his value for who he is.
Acceptance helps you grow personally and open up in your own ways. A person can be real, he has weaknesses, doubts, and the right to make mistakes.
