Mahatma Gandhi once said, When there is love there is life. To say that healthy relationships make people happy is an understatement. There’s this peace of mind that comes with relationships devoid of incessant quarrels, nagging, toxicity, physical and emotional abuse.
The whole point of a relationship is to be with someone who complements you, ensures your happiness and growth. That’s why humans are wired to connect with one another.
A lot of people do not understand how important our mental health is. There’s no way you’ll have a productive day if your state of mind is in disarray. That’s why there’s a clamour for people to be happy always. It’s indeed why people seek healthy relationships.
There are many advantages to being in a healthy relationship. Here are some of them:
1. Lower rate of anxiety and depression
In recent times, depression has been on the increase. Also, anxiety levels are rising due to different pressures humans face. The pressure to succeed is enough to make someone anxious.
However, when you’re in a healthy relationship, there’s a significantly lesser amount of pressure to face. Your partner is quite understanding and supportive. He/she is poised to help you strengthen your self-esteem, ensure your confidence and stand by you if you ever become depressed.
2. You’ll never feel lonely
The feeling of loneliness can make one go berserk. It makes people feel like no one cares about them. You can hardly blame such people. Imagine not been loved and cared for as much as you want to.
If you’re in a healthy relationship, your partner knows that you deserve all the love and care in this world. Also, he/she knows that it’s not healthy to feel lonely. The fact that they see you as an integral part of their life is enough.
3. Feeling of happiness
You should think twice before saying happiness is free. It really isn’t. One of the prices to pay is a healthy relationship. You’ll feel genuine happiness because your relationship is waxing strong and your partner doesn’t give you any reason to feel unhappy.
Those butterflies you’re feeling in your stomach only underline your happiness. You deserve nothing less.
4. You’ll feel less stressful
No one likes to be stressed. It only places needless burdens on people which in turns affects the mental state.
The feeling that you’re in a healthy relationship is enough to reduce your stress level. There’s the assurance that your partner will always be there for you come what may.
