Trust

No relationship can survive with a lack of trust between the individuals involved. It is very essential to maintain and continuously strengthen the trust throughout the relationship. Trust forms the basis on which happy relationships are built strong to survive any storm.

Transparent Communication

Every relationship passes through struggle and conflict at some point. No relationship is perfect. Therefore it is important to maintain open communication, no matter how small or complicated is the conflict between them. This helps to resolve any conflict if patience and tact are applied. If the lines of communication are broken down even minor conflicts gets elevated, bringing discord in the relationship.

Respect

A relationship cannot yield happiness if the persons involved do not respect each other. Respect strengthens loyalty towards the individuals. Without respect it is difficult to maintain cordiality which is essential for any happy relationship.

Honesty

No relationship can be built on lies.  You have to instill trust in you by your words and actions. Only then the others will be able to share their thoughts, views and feelings with you. Individuals have different needs and expectations. Hence it is very to show others that you can be relied upon in difficult times. Distrust and dishonesty are destroyers of any relationship.

Care and Concern

In any relationship, the people involved need to show how much they care for the other. Care can be in the form of support in turbulent times or can also be by being a crying shoulder and listening to the problems which other person is going through in their life. Giving credit to the other person when it is due and genuine appreciation in public can make the relationship grow stronger.

Understanding

Mutual understanding plays an important role in the success of any happy relationship as, every individual is different. Each one of us has unique strengths and weaknesses. Avoid criticizing the other person’s flaws in public. This gives rise to a feeling of insecurity within the partner and can create misunderstanding.

Appreciation

Every individual crave for recognition and hence it is very important to always express appreciation of the achievements or deeds of others however small they may be.  In the absence of appreciation, dissension and dissatisfaction creep in and spoil an otherwise happy relationship.

Excitement

With passage of time, every relationship becomes dull and boring. This can make the people drift apart as they are disinterested in the relationship as they feel neglected or ignored.  To enliven the relationship you should constantly have some fun through regular interactions or visits without disturbing the other person’s routine.
