Relationships Simply Made: Happiness vs Healthy

Joe Thursday, August 15, 2013 No Comment
In our relationships let's stop looking to be happy, but let's work to be healthy! Happiness changes with the seasons, but healthiness is a lifestyle!

I am not telling you that you're not to be happy in your relationships. As a matter of fact I believe that happiness or joy should be what you receive from being in relationships. However, we make the mistake to build our relationships on the fickleness of happiness and not on a stronger foundation like healthiness.

It is not possible to make someone happy. We lose out when we try to do "things" to please and make a person happy. We as human beings struggle with making and keeping ourselves happy, so how in the world can you make someone happy all the time and maintain your own happiness?

Relationships Simply Made proposes that we no longer go after a temporary change, but we seek a more stable foundation: Healthiness!

Seek healthiness and not happiness. Chase after the principles and attitudes that make a healthy relationship.

Healthy, Engaging, and Encouraging Communication

Healthy and Positive Intimacy 

Healthy and Intentional Quality Time 

Healthy and Empowering Conflict Resolution 

For Married Couples: Healthy, Exhilarating, Consistent: Sex, Sexual Communication, and Sexual Intimacy

Healthy, Consistent, Active Spiritual Life

Healthy Living: Exercise and Healthy Eating 

If you seek these things in your relationship believe me you will be rewarded with happiness. If you seek to only to be "pleased" in a relationship whether friendships or intimate relationships, you will be disappointed. However, seeking to be healthy holds each person accountable to managing their own emotions, communicating those feelings with those they are in relationship with, and bringing to whole people to the relationship. 

Healthiness equals Happiness. A healthy relationship promotes happiness in everyone working towards being healthy.
