What Makes a Good Relationship? - Newby Realty

Relationships, whether they are with a spouse, parent, child, sibling, co-worker, friend or relative, have similar important components. There must be honest, respectable communication, loyal commitment, solid trust and whole hearted love for a healthy relationship to survive.

Communication:
This characteristic is very important and one that is apparent in a healthy relationship. It consists of thoughtful listening, understanding, asking questions, non verbal (a touch, look, etc.) taking time to find out all the details of what's going on and all things that have to do with getting your message across and receiving messages. Without this communication, the relationship is just pretend. Your actions must support your words. Otherwise there is no point to the relationship. If you say "I love you", but you don't show actions of love towards that person, the words are hollow. Honesty and accountability of your words and actions is essential. Respecting the opinions, fears, needs, hopes, desires, and concerns of one another allows the communication to continue. Each person needs to feel they are not being berated or that their words and needs are not important when expressing themselves. The negative actions bring a halt to communication.

Commitment:
This is being there, no matter what - no matter the status of money, health, jobs, physical looks or perfections. Each person in the relationship has the job of helping the other become their best, supporting each other through the thick and thin. Without commitment, this support will not be reached.

Trust: This is an action of love. However, love cannot be reached without a solid trust in place. When you love someone, you trust them with the little and big things; ALL things. Continuing to give trust enables trust to come back to you from the receiver. The foundation of a relationship is built on trust.

Love: This most important characteristic of a healthy relationship is the result from having a solid foundation of communication, commitment and trust in a relationship. Once this foundation is set, only then can a relationship thrive.

Quotes:
?A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.?? ~? Leo F. Buscaglia

?Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.?? ~ Anthony Robbins
