7 Things Every Fulfilling Relationship Needs To Have
1. Trust — a solid foundation. Without trust we cannot hope to have fulfilling relationships because the absence of trust invites scarcity in all other areas of our lives.
2. Loyalty — working together. All relationships endure tough times, the difference between dysfunctional & fulfilling relationships is dysfunction is created when we stop working on the relationship together.
3. Honesty — being open with each other. The telling of lies indicates the presence of fear and fear is just false evidence appearing real. We must be open with one another if we are to create relationships we enjoy being part of.
4. Respect — treating each other as equals. When we treat others how we want to be treated we create reciprocal relationships — instead of ones based on gain & loss.
5. Authenticity — living our truth. Lying to ourselves for the comfort of others results in us harbouring resentment toward others & ourselves. We can transcend this fear-based mindset by expressing how we truly feel.
6. Space — spending time with ourselves. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and it allows us time to reconnect with ourselves which is necessary for maintaining our emotional wellbeing.
7. Communication — being heard. Talking about how we feel is absolutely essential in creating fulfilling relationships that last because communication dissolves unnecessary conflict that can be easily avoided.
