What makes a Healthy Relationship?

Why I ask this question is because I believe that everyone is not perfect. Some may think that

others are bless to have a awesome relationship with their peer, sibling, mother or even with their

co-worker. But theyre all wrong, everyone goes through a rough patch with someone they care

about. It takes time, respect, passion and understanding to make a healthy relationship

worthwhile. Once I figure out what makes a healthy relationship, I want to spread the word. I

want everyone to know that its never too late to turn a bad relationship into a healthy one.

Embrace the beauty of what it can be, instead of holding back something that it cant be.

Being a high school student, you witness every single thing that happens while switching to your

next period, couples down the hallways, either kissing or holding hands or the group of best

friends that cant stop taking selfies of themselves, hugging each other until one taps out or that

one student arguing with the math teacher about their grade. My meaning of a healthy

relationship was always having arguments about the littlest things like, staying up too late when

your mom told you to go to sleep 10mins ago or having disagreements about the wall paint from

time to time or one buys another a five dollar box of fries or a co-worker staying in for your shift

when you cant. I believe what makes a healthy relationship is the struggles that you face with

your partner.
During my research process it was very difficult to find articles based on friendships because

there was very few of them. When I came across this article, my first process was to read each

paragraph that had a title related to my question. The first paragraph was How can I nurture

my friendships? , what I learned about my question in this section is Developing and

maintaining healthy friendships involves give-and-take. There would be days where you're

giving support, and the other days where youre receiving it. To make a friendship worthwhile,

be kind, everything you do should come from your heart. Not because you feel like you have to

but because you want to. Every act of kindness and expression of gratitude are the little things

that add up to positive relations and successful years. Listen up be interested all the time,

ask whats going on in hers/his lives. Pay close attention to every single word because you care,

body language is everything and eye contact especially. Your friend wants the same respect that

they give you when you speak. Open up everyone hates secrets when they dont know about

any of them. Express yourself about the things that you strongly agree on and disagree on, show

your friend your true colors, your story could be the key that unlocks someone elses prison.

Dont be afraid to share it. Show that you can be trusted every now and then someone has

been through a trauma experience and all they need is a good friend to show them that not

everyone is the same. Last but not least Make yourself available have a friends night out

from time to time, make unforgettable memories with one another and live to the fullest! You

only live once. So this source led me to my other research because friends are like family. And

family relationships have their ups and downs also no family is perfect, so I decided to connect

this relationship with what makes a family relationship healthy?.

We age, we grow and learn on our own. Between siblings and parents, relatives that you dont

interact with everyday and your cousins and aunts. Growing into your own person you learn

from your family first, theyre by your side from the moment you start walking till the moment

you start running. I decided to use this credible source for my research question because The

building blocks of healthy family relationships provide a protected guideline for all family

members to feel safe and connected with one another. Children benefit from healthy family

relationships, Families come in different shapes, sizes and numbers, dealing with conflict and

ways to build healthy family relationships and so for. As I was reading through the article my

goal was to look for two specific skills that actually impact a familys relationship. One that

grab my attention was spending time as a whole why is because for instance my family is

very small, I spent majority of my life with my mom side. We all live far apart from each other

but we still make it work. We have family game night from time to time, mini vacations and

celebrations! Spending time with family brings back joy into our hearts, we forgot we had

because of life being so busy. Family is your backbone and much more. The other skill that

intrigued me very much was be affectionate because as children and teens grow their feelings,

mindset and body changes. Their love and care is shown differently, some give out unlimited

kisses to their parents, others give out high-fives, a pat on the back or a nod. But what keeps that

relationship healthy as a family is to keep the spirit alive, like saying i love you or youre

special this gives reassurances of affection and care. That develops trust and closeness in the

relationship. Which leads me to my other credible source that relates to whats makes a healthy

family relationship?

Communication within the family is extremely important because it enables


members to express their needs, wants, and concerns to each other. Open and honest
communication creates an atmosphere that allows family members to express their
differences as well as love and admiration for one another. Family

The most important relationship that we all been waiting for, what makes a healthy romance

relationship? . To have a healthy relationship you need to have interdependence. Codependence

and interdependence are two different dynamics. The difference is that Codependence is

about giving away power over self-esteem. Interdependence is about making allies, forming

partnerships. Interdependence means that we give someone else power over our welfare and our

feelings. What you need in a relationship is interdependence not codependence . Once

you're in a relationship where you give up your self-definition and self-worth it causes you to
lose all control with your partner. He/she will not always do what you want to do or respect you.

This is why its important to remember who you truly are and your worth as being dependent.

Interdependence is what you want to in order to make a healthy relationship, building

connections with other beings, giving away limited power to our welfare and feelings. We see

things wiser and understand our worth. Having a great self-esteem lets us love ourselves, taking

risk at love, being independent, without buying into the belief that the behavior of others

determines our self-worth.

Im proud to say that I asked a great question because I witness many different relationships

everyday of my life that need a lot improvement on and by me researching this question. I feel

like I now have a lot more to say when Im being asked for advice from my friends, sisters,

cousins, employees, etc and my very own personal relationships. I learned to live freely with

passion and courage. I learn that happiness is the golden to key to every relationship, an open

mind to understand every individual a lot more. What I still want to learn is how to help those

who are still not comfortable to be themselves with the people they surround themselves with.

Because those who tried cant figure out help and just give up on the relationship, I dont and

wouldnt. But overall I found out interesting facts and stories all around the world that I will

keep in mind.
