Relationships aren’t about finding “the perfect person.”
They’re about building something strong with someone willing to grow with you.
Every relationship has positives and negatives. That’s normal.
🚩 Unhealthy Patterns
• Constant criticism
• Walking on eggshells
• No accountability
• Emotional withdrawal
• Score-keeping
✅ Healthy Patterns
• Repair after arguments
• Feeling safe to speak honestly
• Mutual effort
• Respect during conflict
• Shared goals + independence
💡 Maximise Relationship Success:
1️⃣ Communicate early — not when resentment is already built
2️⃣ Learn your partner’s stress signals
3️⃣ Don’t weaponise past mistakes
4️⃣ Protect “us time”
5️⃣ Choose respect even when angry
Love isn’t just chemistry — it’s daily behaviour.
If you want healthier relationships (romantic, family, or friendships), you can learn these skills. You weren’t born knowing them.
