Being in a happy relationship is everybody’s dream but not everybody knows how to be happy in a relationship. A healthy and happy relationship is the best relationship anyone can have. It not only makes you feel fulfilled but makes you live longer.
When two people are incompatible, it is very difficult to build a successful and a happy relationship. Which is why I advice anyone going into a relationship to make researches and be sure they are compatible with their partner before going into a serious relationship.
Most people tend to stay in an unhealthy relationship because they are afraid of being alone. Forgetting that the fastest way to a failed relationship is to end up with the wrong person.
Every relationship has problems that they face even happy relationship. So, thinking you won’t face any challenges or have any problems because you are in a happy and healthy relationship is not entirely true.
The 5 best ways to be happy in a relationship are:
Don’t be a people pleaser
No matter what you do, you can never satisfy everybody, so stop doing things that are detrimental to your well-being. Stop trying to please people, when you know it will only make you unhappy. Be your authentic self when you are in a relationship. Allow your partner to love you for who you are. Your partner shouldn’t have the final say in your life, be active in decision making process. You can listen to advice but don’t take all advice. You are the one in control of your life, so stop worrying what people are thinking about you.
Don’t Compare
Comparison affects our mental health. It weakens you and sometimes makes one feel useless and not good enough. There is no perfect relationship. Every relationship has it’s own challenges and problems, so do not be deceived by the outside display. Be grateful for what you have and never stop putting effort to make it better.
Disregard the thought of changing your partner
No one is perfect, you should always have this at the back of your mind. Your partner mustn’t have all the personality trait you want. So, forget about changing them and try to accept them for who they are. Trying to change one partner, is the reason for some fights in a relationship. For you to avoid that, you need to fully accept your partners flaws and imperfections, this way, you will find it easier to get along with each other.
Encourage Communication
A strong relationship is built on mutual trust, honest communication and genuine empathy. Always communicate your feelings and emotions with your partner. Let them know how you feel about something, stop keeping it to yourself and allowing it to eat you up. People forget that, when they don’t communicate their feelings and emotions, your partners won’t know what they are doing right or wrong. A good communication in a relationship, makes the relationship a happy and strong one. Learn to communicate with your partner to avoid exploding one day and causing a disaster that would have been easily solved.
Make your partner feel loved and appreciated
Appreciating your partner and making them feel loved is a great way to make your relationship a happy one. When someone feels loved and appreciated, the chances of cheating on their partner is low. When a person is contented with what they have, they tend to be happy in that place. The major cause of infidelity is poor communication, lack of affection and unmet expectations. For you to build a good and happy relationship with your partner, you need to learn their love languages and use it frequently but don’t forget to tell them what you need too. Because when one is only giving and not receiving, that relationship cannot be happy.
Final Thought
Relationship experts advise people to make themselves happy, instead of waiting for their partners to make them happy. Be happy first and love yourself first before loving others and making others happy. When you are a happy person, you will be in a better position to make others happy. So everything starts from you!

The major causes of infidelity is conscience and unmet expectations I don’t really think poor communication plays a major role here…..
