Being a supportive Army Partner can challenge the best of us! Over the next few days we will be sharing 12 clear guidelines with you,that will help you build a really healthy relationship.... BUILDING A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP, Written by HealthyPlace Staff Writer. What constitutes a healthy relationship and the things you need to keep a relationship healthy. There are reliable tools that can be used to create a healthy relationship, many of which have not been taught in our culture. If you want to have a really healthy relationship, follow these simple guidelines. 1. DO NOT EXPECT ANYONE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR HAPPINESS. Accept yourself. Respect yourself. Love yourself first. Take good care of yourself. If you really want, you CAN always find something to do that makes you feel good about yourself right now. Love yourself, so pursue your true needs. Light up your true desires. Ask yourself why you didnt? Too often relationships fail because someone is unhappy and blames their partner for making them that way. Your life is ONLY under YOUR OWN control. Keep reminding yourself you are GOOD ENOUGH to have a happy life and a healthy relationship. Make yourself happy, and then share with one another. 2. MAKE AND KEEP CLEAR AGREEMENTS. Respect the difference between yourself and your partner. Dont expect he or she agrees with you on everything. Reach mutual agreement or plan, and then commit to it. Leave the partner if you cant reach any agreement or you find he or she always makes excuses for breaking the agreement or plan. If you say youre going to meet your partner for lunch at noon, be on time, or call if youre going to be late. If you agree to have a monogamous relationship, keep that agreement and/or tell the truth about any feelings youre having about someone else before you act on them. Keeping agreements shows respect for yourself and your partner, as well as creating a sense of trust and safety.
