Easy Ways to have a Healthier Relationship

February 12, 2022 Leave a Comment

Marriage is hard. In fact, any relationship is difficult. It takes patience, dedication and the desire to work through the hard times. Our society seems to be set up in a way to encourage relationships to fail. I mean, I am already on my second marriage and am only in my thirties. I have learned a few things along the way to make our marriage stronger and with Valentine’s Day (the actual day of love) coming up, what better time the to share some easy ways to  have a healthier relationship. Even those with the strongest relationships could pick up a tip or two. 

5 Easy ways to have a healthier relationship

Easy Ways to have a Healthier Relationship 

Communicate

Communication is so important in any relationship and in order to have a healthier relationship, communication is key. Communicating about all the things big and small can help prevent arguments further down the line. It’s also not only important to communicate but to listen to that communication as well. 

Date Nights

Once you get several years into a relationship, it becomes easy to fall into the same old routines. Children, busy schedules and being exhausted can lead to putting off doing things solo with each other. Dating your spouse or partner is one way that you can create a healthier relationship. So make the time to go out and have fun; just you and your partner. Having date nights doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go out somewhere expensive, check out these At Home Date Night Ideas for a fun night in. 

Give Praise 

Being thankful for the things that your partner does can help build your relationship. Sure, things like doing the dishes, laundry or taking out the trash are necessary parts of day to ay life but a simple thank you for doing those things goes a long way. So next time your husband golds the laundry, instead of critiquing them for folding it the wrong way (my husband with the towels), simply say thank you and move on. 

Apologize

Arguments and disagreements are going to happen, they just do when you put two people together who have different opinions and ideas about things. The most important thing that you can do is apologize when you are in the wrong. I know I personally have an extremely hard time with this being the stubborn person that I am but I have learned that apologizing goes a long way in forgiving each other after an argument. 

Show love everyday

Don’t just rely on one day (*cough, cough* Valentine’s Day) to show your love for your partner. Instead, show it every day in other ways. By cooking your spouse’s favorite meal, starting the random load of laundry or by simply just saying it more. Find ways each and every day to show your love for your other half to help build a healthier relationship.

I had to make the difficult decision to say goodby I had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to Bella today. I’ve had Bella for 16 years. She has seen me through  relationships, marriages, a divorce, the birth of my children, countless moves and so much more. She was my little lazy dog that loved to snuggle under the covers and lay out in grass on a sunny day. 
She hated winter and tolerated the children. She’s going to be missed so much ❤️

Supporting my postpartum body with @beli.baby Pren Supporting my postpartum body with @beli.baby Prenatal vitamins. 
Not only are the essential prior to conception and during pregnancy; they are essential to keep the body healthy after pregnancy as well. 
I have openly shared my previous miscarriages before finally getting pregnant with Chloe. This is why I decided to check out the Beli Women Prenatal vitamins to help with my own personal fertility and boost my chances of a having a successful pregnancy. The Beli Women Prenatal vitamins are formulated with powerful ingredients that can boost fertility and conception as well as  improve egg quality. As an older mom, this was especially important to me. During pregnancy, the Beli Women Prenatal can protect baby’s brain and spine, help reduce nausea, and then support postpartum recovery and breastfeeding.
And as a busy mom having the ability to order and have them delivered to your door monthly makes it that much easier for me to remember to take them.

A little day off morning routine that for once was A little day off morning routine that for once was not pure craziness. 
Things that help me get out the door in the morning on time is getting up before the kids, having clothes picked out the night before and making sure their bags are packed for daycare and school. 
Mornings before work are a completely different ballgame.
