To experience a healthier relationship, practice being more healthy in your relationship.

Before we look into some healthy marriage advice, consider this question: How WELL is your relationship?

Two people can literally make one another sick.

The more strife, discord, and contentiousness in a relationship, the more unhealthy the relationship’s influence upon the individuals involved.

The purpose of marriage is to help us to live more fulfilling lives. A relationship can also be healing.

When a relationship arouses feelings of love, contentment, security and respect the health of the individuals involved is nurtured, promoted and protected.

We can also sicken one another with poisonous words.

Doing much blaming, complaining, condemning, accusing and negative name-calling produces stress and undermines healthy self-esteem and self-confidence.

What, if any, are some of the unhealthy patterns in your relationship?

What improvements would make yours a healthier relationship in your view?

In this blog, feel free to share any marriage advice that you might have to offer a couple that wants a truly healthy relationship?

A healthy marriage will help you achieve happy life-success.

When two people are getting along in a way that helps them to feel good, or even great, those positive feelings translate into higher performance in all areas of life.

To experience a healthier relationship, practice being more healthy in your relationship.

Don’t condemn your mate for being, say contentious. Work instead on remaining calm and confident (emotionally healthy) even when your mate’s contentious pattern kicks in.

Healthy Marriage Advice: Work on being a more healthy person in your relationship. You’ll make the relationship a healthier experience for yourself, and you’ll become a healthier influence upon the other person.

The relationship advice to follow to receive more support in your life is to grow more SELF-supportive and to become more supportive of others!

Whether you want more support in your marriage or in other relationships, the way to receive more support is the reverse of how many people pursue it.

You will probably receive LESS support by complaining about how little support you receive.

Begging for support with a helpless attitude will likely cause people to reject you rather than to forge a more supportive connection with you.

The relationship advice to follow to receive more support in your life is to grow more SELF-supportive and to become more supportive of others!

As you develop your skills, strengths and knowledge with the aim of growing more self-supportive you will find that you can do far more on your own.

As you practice being more supportive toward others, you will naturally arouse their desire to respond in kind, and to be more supportive right back.

What forms of increased support would you like to receive in your marriage or other relationships?

What strategies have you been using to receive more support?

Share your thoughts and questions in this blog
about how to receive more support.

As you grow into a more capable and supportive person, you will naturally attract to you more capable and supportive people.

Think about how you seek more help in your personal and professional relationships.

Complaining and criticizing in reaction to not getting the help you want is actually a strategy for getting more help that is bound to fail.

Portraying yourself as a self-pitying martyr is another doomed strategy.

There is nothing wrong with seeking more help in your marriage or other relationships, but HOW you seek it makes all the difference.
