Healthy relationships are not just luck, but the result of conscious choice and hard work. A mature relationship is based on mutual respect, trust, mutual growth and the pursuit of happiness for both partners.
This does not mean that there are no problems or conflicts, but it is about how you solve them, how you communicate and support each other. “Psychological support” writes about it.
To build a strong and happy relationship, it is important to follow these principles:
1. Dignity and respect. Treat each other with love, attention and care. Value each other's thoughts, feelings, and needs. Avoid insults, humiliation and criticism.
2. Exclusivity. Keep loyalty to each other. Do not allow outsiders to interfere in your relationship.
3. Compliance with agreements. Keep your promises and agreements. If there are problems, discuss and solve them together.
4. Openness Don't be afraid to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Be able to listen and understand each other.

5. Safety. Create an atmosphere of trust and safety in the relationship. Protect each other from physical and emotional harm.
6. Equality. Value each partner's contribution to the relationship, and share responsibilities fairly.
7. Common rules. Together establish rules and norms of behavior in the relationship. Also, discuss with your partner and change them as needed. And most importantly: follow the established rules.
8. Effective communication. Listen to each other with attention and respect. Don't be afraid to discuss difficult topics, because a compromise can always be reached.
A mature relationship is a daily work that requires effort, patience and love from both partners. But no investment gives such a valuable result as a relationship built on mutual respect, trust and support.
