Family: 5 Things to keep in mind to maintain a healthy relationship

After a period of time, partners in a relationship get to know each other so well, that it’s almost as if they can predict one another’s moods and reactions. In such a phase, people often become victims of making goalsassumptions, and trying to believe they are true. In reality, it is not really possible to know a person all the time what he is thinking, unless it is spelt out clearly. So before you start making any assumptions, read out these things:

You can read each other’s minds:

It’s just a phrase you say to outsiders when you know someone well. Be cautious, it is easy to let this thought mess with you head, which in turn will mess with what you think he’s thinking! If you want to know his mood, don’t assume, simply ask.

That you have the same goals:

It is tempting to believe that you and your partner share similar goals when you are in a relationship, but life goals differ from person to person. In such cases, it is ideal to learn about your partner’s aims and let him know yours to figure if they can coexist. Don’t make his goals your own goals just to have that ideal ‘sharing’.

That you don’t need to discuss your sex life:

Just because you think it’s all well in the sack, it’s not necessarily the truth. If you have been at it for a few months, your sex life can reach a plateau. It’s best to discuss these things every few weeks to see what you want to do differently or what new things you want to try.

That the only way to go is up:

A relationship undergoes all kinds of phases, it doesn’t remain the same over time. It has to evolve. It’s easy to get comfortable in your relationship routine and feel that things shouldn’t change, but be ready so you are not taken aback! You will both grow, and the hope is that you grow with each other.

That you ‘complete each other’:

That’s an unrealistic dramatic statement. You partner can be your support system and confidante, but he can’t possibly be one who fulfills all your needs and vice versa. You both need others people—friends, family, colleagues etc. You need to be complete in yourself to feel happy with another person, you don’t have to depend on anyone to complete you.
