Recipe for a healthy relationship

First of all, ask yourself what a real relationship is. You need to understand what your desires are from another person, and what you are willing to give them. By doing this, you will know if you are to continue and work towards a future together, and if the other person feels the same.
Once you have decided to have an official relationship, you both need to remember what brought the two of you together in the first place. It will help not taking each other for granted, which can often happen after two people have been together for a long time. This does not mean the love is fading, but there is lack of effort. Everyone is independent in their own beliefs and ideas about things, so never expect a person to always see things your own way. However, if you want to avoid frequent arguments, it is important to have similar expectations out of a relationship. There are few recipes that go into this tasty meal of healthy relationship. Let get started.
Freedom of love -Showing affection is really one of the key things that distinguishes a relationship from friendship and it is important not to let it fade. When love is present, the other entire recipe falls into place.
Honesty and truth-  a top priority for healthy relationship. You need to know that you can trust your mate because it builds a zone of safety and comfort around them. You should be able to rely on your loving partner to tell you the truth. Always confess your wrong doings to another after making mistakes.
Patience is one of the keys to a healthy relationship. There are times when your partner will not respond in a way in which is pleasing to you, but this doesn’t mean we have to take it so serious or personal. Always slow down and think of reasons why your partner may be acting a certain way. Assuming and jumping into conclusions is not the best because it shows your partner they can act freely. No matter what the situation may be, patience is golden in a relationship.
Appreciation- If too much time goes by where they don’t feel like their effort is appreciated, they are bound to slow down, stop and maybe leave. Every healthy relationship consists of two people who not only appreciate what their partner does, but also who their partner is. Learn how to appreciate.
Respect- Respect is the bowl that you used to mix all of these ingredients together, without the bowl, everything else just falls all on the floor and becomes one big mess.
If you are in a relationship, I hope you commit to loving your partner with honest heart, transparency, patience and a fully present mind.
Lastly, never forget to say I LOVE YOU, it can never be said too much.
