10 Things You Learn When You’re in A Good Relationship

When you find the one relationship that feels just right, you will realize a lot from that great relationship. Here are 10 of the biggest lessons you can learn from being in a truly healthy relationship.

Show Your True Colors: Being your true self with your partner is vital for the development of a great relationship and your flaws won’t seem as awkward to share if you’re with the right person.
Don’t Lament On The Past: Everyone has a past but you shouldn’t let each other’s get in the way of your present. When you care about someone enough, you learn to accept things for what they are.
Never Assume: You can’t presume you and your partner will know what each other is thinking, even if you’ve been together for a while, so communication is key.
Miscommunication Happens: If your partner says something that offends you, stay calm and ask them what they mean. You wouldn’t want to hurt each other on purpose in a healthy relationship, so chances are that it was a misunderstanding.
Forget the Games: Whether it’s showing someone how much you care for them or expressing when you’re upset, being honest shouldn’t be a fear in a good relationship. Be honest, open and understanding with your feelings and theirs.
Stay Independent: Your individual happiness is crucial to be happy within your relationship. Being able to spend time on your own doing the things each of you enjoy will definitely make you happier.
View Things from Their Perspective: Couples don’t always agree. Don’t let your differing opinions cause fights. Take a step back and try to understand each other’s points of view.
Support Each Other’s Growth: Growing as individuals helps your relationship grow. Always support each other in whatever you each desire to further personal growth and be happy together.
Forgive: Forgiveness and letting go of anger that could impact your relationship in the future is so important. Think of your arguments as lessons to make your future communication constructive.
Trust: Cheating, lying and similar behavior shouldn’t be worries on your mind. In a healthy relationship, you need to have unwavering trust and when you do, you can make it through any problems that may arise.
