Harmonious Relationship | What Partners Need to Know!
Harmony is something we relate to music, the combination of simultaneous notes in a chord to be accurate. If played well, life is a music you love to listen to eternally, but if notes are erratic, noise is certain to be generated.
So, what is inside our lives? Music or Noise?
Maybe you see yourself committed to a Harmonious relationship, but is your partner doing the same? Are you confused about whether it is noise or music? Well, harmony is a work of two, always and ever, and compatibility is the chief ingredient for music to play.
A Harmonious relationship between the two is said to exist when partners don't have to put any conscious efforts into securing their physical, emotional, and psychological bonding, differences are addressed but honored, and a homely ecosystem is generated where respect, freedom, and trust are constant.
But what about love? Well, it is a source code I would say.
#Checklist of Harmonious Relationship
1. Trust and Honesty
Earnest Hemingway, the famous American novelist and short-story writer once said "The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them", and this truly makes sense. In this modern time, I guess, trust indeed is never thinking about sneaking into his/her smartphone than actually not sneaking into his/her smartphone. If the slightest of such thoughts has crossed your mind, ever, it's not harmony then.
Honesty is letting your partner know your all passwords, letting him/her know your mistakes, sharing the deepest secrets you otherwise would never reveal to anyone, and be it past, present, or future, there is nothing like "what you did, what you do, or what you want to do" your partner doesn't know.
ðĪQUICK TIP: If you are honest with your partner, trust comes as Karma, and if you trust him/her no matter what, honesty will be mutual.
2. Effective Communication
In a harmonious relationship, effective communication is one where partners think, assume, believe, express, respond, and react not based on their expectations, ideas, and fears, instead, they opt for a Perception check. Ever got across dialogues like "I know what you meant or ‘No, I didn’t mean that"? If yes, communication is totally mistaken here, and it is certain to fire up.
Speaking of which, a variety of conflicts are inevitable in any bond, but in the end, if the outcome is consensual and conclusive without the slightest glitch, harmony is set to prevail.
Further, confession and admission are the most feared emotions in couples that often disorders the relationship, but nothing is more beautiful than partners who can do these fearlessly. Do you?
ðĪQUICK TIP: Listen till he/she is speaking, but speak only if you understand without conjecture!
3. Mutual Respect
In love, likings go hand-in-hand in the beginning but not eternally. Over time, taste changes, identities surface, self-esteem sets in, and then affection walks parallel with respect. In the beginning, love overshadows evolving differences, but soon, as life is hit by reality, respect is something that holds the relationship in shape and not affection only.
Just acknowledging one's ideology, decisions, imperfections, and shortcomings don't work, these need to be respected wholeheartedly without using any coercing or coaxing tactics. Frequent devaluing or demeaning, privately or openly, distort the notes and start to noise. Don't ever do this!
When you like, you love the body. When you love, you love the heart. But when you respect, you accept the soul, and that's the key to harmony.
ðĪQUICK TIP: Just because it is mutual you expect respect beforehand is not how it works. Remember, this all starts with you, so GIVE respect first and receive it back naturally. Also, Keep this repeating.
4. Shared values and Goals
A study published in the National Library of Medicine in 2016 clearly concluded that those couples who exhibit aligned attitudes and have similar values and life goals succeed in sustaining happy and harmonious relationships, while those with conflicting angles drive their life toward distress, loneliness, and depression.
Alright noted, but isn't it way more than natural that your goals, values, and attitude might be different, not harmful, though, than your partner? Here disagreement is inevitable, and this is something most realistically painful because no matter how much you love or respect each other, attitude is never going to be a mirror image of your partner.
What an irony: You like shopping, but he doesn't. You want children, but he doesn't. You want to employ yourself, but he doesn't!
ðĪQUICK TIP: Stop being extra-selfish in prioritizing your values and goals, instead, brainstorm, discuss, decide, and set deadlines together. Remember, when you are in a harmonious relationship, his goals/ values are yours and yours are his. You ought to walk together on this.
5. Supportive nature
In life, there come countless instances where the only person you always crave on your side is your partner, and that's an undying sign of a harmonious relationship. Failure, sickness, dejection, family dispute, social setbacks, or simply when you feel vulnerable, the amount of emotional support of your partner defines the harmony in your relationship.
Your partner is supportive if you, despite being in a relationship for a longer time feel safe, secure, and protected. In short, you are fearless for what may come ahead.
ðĪQUICK TIP: This is not only about HE, SHE, too, has the same responsibility!
6. Handling Conflict
You don't agree on something doesn't mean you don't like your partner, no. See, conflicts are as real as the sun and moon, but the beauty is how you handle them and destine on an agreeable note. And believe me, to do so is much easier than you think. In a harmonious relationship, you have to and have to end the conflict with the agreement. Just lose it sometimes, this is just ok! Remember, you are not at war, and winning it often damages the relationship.
ðĪQUICK TIP: Be mindful, prefer listening over subjugating, watch your words, do a perception check, Breathe and don't heat up, try to find a middle ground, and find the root to resolve it collectively. And most importantly, resolve it before you sleep.
7. Efforts for Growth
As per Groucho Marx, an American comedian, actor, writer, and singer, "Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife". So deep and practical, yes? But ironically, even humorously speaking, I couldn't come up with something where a man gets credit for her success, it's about herself! Anyway, I strongly believe her success, too, needs effort from him, not permission of course.
In a man-oriented world Success or growth for a woman is not largely about money, career, or self-recognition. Rather, her growth or success is measured in terms of family integrity, harmony, respect, and growth of his children and partner, which in my opinion, still, is not focused sufficiently.
Yes, there is a need, and then I guess someone will write a quote for a successful woman crediting a man.
ðĪQUICK TIP: Surprise her/him by not just asking what he/she needs for growth, but also exhibiting honest attempts to fulfill them. Ask him/her what change they want to see in them to succeed!
8. Appreciation and affection
The foundation of a harmonious relationship is affection, which often changes into respect, habit, and need, which, too, is acceptable, but seldom it boringly turns into a formality, roleplay, or heartless routine as the relationship ages. And this is not uncommon. Affection is a necessity, but it is not sufficient for a maturing relationship to flourish, you need to honor it regularly and repeatedly.
Appreciation and gratitude are two such habits that help sustain the contentment, peace, integrity, and smile of your partner. Maybe you find this harsh, but the smile on your partner's face is your responsibility.ð
Happy and harmonious partners never take their relationships for granted. They thank each other, they appreciate each other, they see the value, and they mean these all!
ðĪQUICK TIP: At least once a day without fail, in your own voice express gratitude and hail him/her for anything you feel worthy. Believe me, this is magical and miraculous. Well, at least once is the bare minimum, you can even progress in doing so as you like.
