Relationships are an important part of our lives. They provide emotional support, fostering personal growth and resilience. They offer companionship, enabling us to share life’s joys and challenges. They teach vital skills for cooperation and understanding, and they help to generate meaningful memories and add a sense of meaning and purpose to our lives.
Whether it’s a romantic relationship, friendship, or other close connection, having a positive and healthy relationship can greatly contribute to your overall wellbeing. A good partner is someone that makes your heart race when you see them, lights up your eyes when they look at you, and still gives you butterflies in your stomach (even if it’s been dormant for a while). You also want to be able to read each other’s non-verbal cues and have the ability to communicate openly with one another.
There are many benefits of having a healthy relationship including a stronger immune system, improved sleep, and the sense that you’re part of something bigger than yourself. When you’re surrounded by people who are supportive of your goals and dreams, it helps to build self-confidence and encourages you to take more risks and chase after your dreams. This sense of community can manifest in a variety of ways, from shared goals and aspirations, to supporting the same charitable causes.
