How to foster a healthy relationship

Developing a healthy relationship requires intentional effort, communication, and mutual respect. According to certified relationship therapy educator Paula Quinsee, here are a few strategies to cultivate a thriving relationship:

Open and Honest Communication:

The relationship expert says that a strong relationship is built on effective communication. She advises individuals to be open with their spouses about their feelings, ideas, and worries and actively listen.

"Being explicit in your communication and avoiding assumptions can build trust and avoid misconceptions."

Quality Time Together:

It is essential to spend meaningful time together to strengthen your bond.

"Take part in hobbies and find activities that you both enjoy. Make time on a regular basis for talks, romantic nights, and making new memories."

Mutual Respect:

Respect each other's individuality, opinions, and boundaries.

"Acknowledge and appreciate your partner's strengths and support their goals and aspirations. Treating each other with kindness and consideration fosters a positive and respectful environment," she adds.
