We grow through what we go through.
Is that so?
I can't help but wonder: what makes a happy couple?
Is it all sunshine and rainbows, or is there more to it than that?
After doing a little research (and talking to a few of my coupled-up friends), I've come to the conclusion that happy couples have one thing in common: they grow through what they go through.
Life is full of ups and downs, and relationships are no exception. Happy couples understand that challenges and obstacles are inevitable, but they also know that these challenges are opportunities for growth. Whether it's a difficult conversation about finances or a major life change, happy couples are willing to work through the tough stuff together. They communicate openly and honestly, and they're willing to make compromises and sacrifices for the good of the relationship.
But it's not all serious business. Happy couples also know how to have fun and enjoy each other's company. They make time for date nights, weekend getaways, and silly inside jokes. They support each other's hobbies and interests, even if they don't always understand them.
So, what are some things that happy couples do to grow through what they go through? Here are a few ideas:
Practice empathy and understanding. Put yourself in your partner's shoes and try to see things from their perspective.
Communicate openly and honestly. Don't be afraid to have difficult conversations or express your feelings.
Make time for each other. Whether it's a weekly date night or a quick text during the day, show your partner that they're a priority.
Laugh together. Don't take yourselves too seriously. Find joy and humour in the everyday moments.
Support each other's dreams and goals. Be each other's biggest cheerleaders and work together to achieve your dreams.
At the end of the day, happy couples are not perfect. They're not immune to arguments or disagreements. But they know that these challenges are opportunities to grow and strengthen their relationship. So, the next time you and your partner hit a rough patch, remember: we grow through what we go through.
