“What does a healthy, high-functioning relationship actually require?”
This is not romance advice. These are the things i would say about any healthy relationship.
Healthy relationships require structure I would break structure into standards, responsibility, the ability to repair and healthy communication.
A lot of people try to model their relationships after the structure they see online or in movies. This doesn't work because *NEWSFLASH* at best the people online are showing you their highlight reel.. at worst like the movies what they are showing you doesn't exist it's meant to tantalize and or entertain.
Structure is the framework which the people in the relationship agree to. There is no uniform structure that all friendships, families or romantic relationships can or will follow and work well.
What I have seen work are a mixture of curiosity, vulnerability and mutual respect. Those traits will lead to actions that help relationships to succeed and thrive long term. They drive everything from the desire to see the other person do well to wanting to share fun or interesting experiences together.
Lastly, comparing your relationships to other relationships or worse yet to imaginary ones is the root of a lot of bitterness and despair.
It's funny one of the major things I share in all of my best relationships is the ability to laugh together. Even through the hard times.
How are you planning to level up your relationships in the next month or season?
