Welcome to a new article full of wisdom and tips for achieving a fulfilling and healthy love relationship! Today, as a psychologist and astrology expert, I want to share with you eight important keys that will help you build a genuine and lasting connection with your partner.

 Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of accompanying many individuals in their search for love and have learned that the key to a successful relationship lies in mutual understanding, effective communication and growing together.

 Join me on this journey, where we will explore how the zodiac signs can influence our relationships, how to deal with everyday challenges and how to keep the flame of love alive.

Get ready to discover the tools you need to build a healthy and nurturing love relationship.

 Let's get started!


What makes a couple happy?



 I get asked a lot of questions about what it takes to have a healthy and happy relationship. The answer, while it may seem obvious, is different for every couple.

 However, I have noticed that many people lack a healthy relationship model to guide them. This implies that we must turn to other sources to learn the basic principles of how healthy relationships work.

 So, I want to share some tips with you on how to create a strong and lasting relationship.

 First, it is important to understand that, as in any other relationship, communication is vital. In healthy couples you must learn to openly express your feelings without fear.

I suggest reading our article:
11 ways to better express and cope with your feelings and emotions.

 It is also essential to show mutual respect and set healthy boundaries. This means agreeing with your partner to define the boundaries of the relationship and respecting the limits set by the other.

 In addition, it is crucial to take time to enjoy each other's company together and engage in fun activities. This will contribute to maintaining a healthy and happy relationship.


Where does it all come from?



 These principles are a combination of three lines of relationship research. They have been developed through the study conducted by Harvey and Omarzu in 2011, as well as by the Gottman Institute, which focuses on how couples communicate and interact in both positive and negative ways. Current research on attachment has also been taken into account. Before proceeding further, however, it is critical to recognize the importance of identifying what occurs in unhealthy relationships.

 This includes behaviors such as verbal and emotional abuse, patterns of control and isolation, physical or psychological violence, boundary violations, and emotional manipulation. If you are experiencing any of these factors in your relationship, I recommend you seek immediate help.

 I suggest you read an interesting article: "5 unintentional ways you damage your relationships". When reading this article it is important to keep in mind different types of relationships in your life: friends, current or past partners, family members or other close people.

 Each of the above points will work differently depending on the relationship you have with each person and may reveal areas for improvement. While no one can act perfectly all the time, don't worry, most relationships can benefit from following some basic tips.

 These tips can range from setting healthy boundaries to showing mutual support and commitment; they also include actively listening to the other person involved in the relationship, expressing gratitude and validation, and finally learning to resolve conflicts constructively.

 If you want to know more about this, I invite you to read an interesting article: "The bad advice that can ruin your relationship".


8 Keys to healthy relationships



1. Show interest

 People in healthy relationships are committed to the well-being of the other person.

 This manifests itself in many ways, such as openly asking about the other person's emotional state, proposing plans to make together, and asking about their experiences and ideas rather than just what they have done.

 This attitude of curiosity, respect and authenticity is one of the fundamental pillars for building healthy long-term relationships.


2.  Acceptance and respect

 Accepting someone means embracing both their strengths and their flaws. When we really get to know a person, we discover some things about them that are not so good, and vice versa; this is part of human nature.

 Therefore, in having a healthy relationship, it is important to maintain a positive attitude toward the other person and toward ourselves.

 Members of the happiest relationships are in the habit of speaking favorably of each other in social situations, as well as respecting their partner's tastes and preferences. These are some essential practices for building strong, lasting relationships.


Positive regard

 People in healthy relationships recognize that negative things the other person has done are simple mistakes or the result of complicated circumstances, and are more likely to praise the other person's accomplishments as the result of his or her effort, positive character and unique qualities.

 This attitude of appreciation and respect is essential to building a strong and lasting relationship, as it helps to develop mutual trust and improve communication between the two of you.


4. Meet basic needs

 Healthy relationships are based on affection, companionship and emotional support.

 These are the basic building blocks for a strong and satisfying connection. In addition to meeting these basic needs, it is important that both partners in the relationship are willing to commit to mutual emotional and personal growth and improvement.

 This may involve developing more effective communication, establishing healthy boundaries, and creating opportunities for intimacy.

5. Positive interactions

 Data indicate that relationships are more satisfying when there is a greater proportion of positive interactions than negative ones.

 Although certain relationships may have a high number of negative interactions, as long as the number of positive interactions outweighs the number of negative ones, satisfaction remains high. This is based on the premise that relationships are nurtured by positive acts and words to generate a feeling of trust, understanding and love between the parties.



6. Problem Solving

 Relationships are not always perfect, and many times there are problems that seem to have no solution. These problems can be an endless cycle with no solution. However, there are ways to reduce these conflicts in healthy relationships.

 In addition, many problems can be solved if both parties are actively committed to finding solutions. This means that partners should communicate to establish a foundation of trust and mutual respect, as well as seek outside help if needed. This may include counseling, therapy, and other resources to help couples find solutions to their problems.


7. Breakup and repair

 People in healthy relationships are able to repair disagreements between them effectively and quickly.

 This means a) identifying whether one or both partners are angry, hurt or unhappy, and b) addressing the disagreement in a way that repairs the relationship.

 Many times, partners wait too long to initiate repairs, some try to fix it but only make the situation worse because they don't have enough knowledge to handle the situation, while others don't try at all.

 A good repair usually starts with a sincere apology or a constructive conversation that helps improve the situation.

 In addition to apologies, couples can also choose other methods of repairing damage, such as active dialogue, empathy and compromise.


8. Reciprocity

 When a relationship is in trouble, both partners need to be committed to working on it. This means that everyone must be responsible for the well-being of the relationship.

 Accepting, respecting and giving the benefit of the doubt to the other person, meeting the partner's needs, providing positive interactions and repairing ruptures are essential to the health of the relationship.

 If only one party is interested in doing this, then it may be necessary to seek professional help to address the problem. Couples therapy can be an excellent way to reconnect and repair emotional wounds caused by infidelity or incompatibility.

The key to a healthy love relationship: honest communication



 In my work as an astrologer and psychologist, I have had the opportunity to work with couples of all zodiac signs. I once had a patient, Aries, whose relationship was going through difficult times. She and her partner were very passionate and constantly clashed due to her impulsive temperament.

 During our sessions, I explained to her the importance of honest communication in a relationship. I told her that it was essential to express her feelings and needs clearly and respectfully. In addition, I recommended that she actively listen to her partner to understand his or her perspectives.

 Over time, Aries began to practice these communication skills and noticed a significant change in their relationship. He learned to control his impulsive reactions and express himself in a calmer manner. His partner also felt more valued that she was willing to listen to him.

 This experience taught me that honest communication is one of the fundamental keys to a healthy love relationship. Without it, couples can fall into misunderstandings and built-up resentments that can lead to the deterioration of the relationship.

 So no matter what your zodiac sign is, always remember to be honest with your partner and be open to hearing what they have to say. Effective communication can resolve conflicts, strengthen emotional bonds and build a solid foundation for a lasting relationship.


The power of mutual commitment



 In another case, I had a patient, a Taurus, who was struggling to find stability in her relationship. Although she and her partner shared many common interests and loved each other deeply, they often clashed due to their different needs for security and stability.

 During our sessions, we talked about the importance of mutual commitment in a relationship. I explained that they both had to be willing to give in and compromise to find a balance that met their individual needs.

 Taurus decided to put this key into practice and began communicating openly with his partner about his concerns. Together, they found creative solutions that allowed them to maintain stability without sacrificing individual freedom.

 This experience showed me that mutual compromise is vital to building a healthy love relationship. Both parties must be willing to work together to overcome obstacles and find solutions that benefit both people.

 Remember that compromise does not mean giving up your own needs or values, but finding a balance that satisfies both yours and your partner's needs. With the power of mutual compromise, you will be able to build a strong and lasting relationship.

 I will continue to share more important keys to having a healthy love relationship in future posts. Stay tuned!

  • I am free, but I want a serious relationship. Should I do it?

    Good evening! The decision to enter into a relationship is something that should be taken with care and caution. First of all, it is important to consider the reasons why you want a relationship and whether it is a healthy reason. For example, if you want a relationship to feel fulfilled, then that is a healthy reason.

    Secondly, find someone with whom you feel compatible and enjoyable combined with exactly what you are looking for. I give two step as a base, of course there are many other elements that affect a relationship, e.g. communication, trust, loyalty and compatibility.

    My advice is to look at the reasons why you want a relationship and if it is healthy, find someone you feel compatible with and give it time.
  • What is happening to me to have someone who loves me for who I am?

    Dear Taurus,

    First, you must remember that true love comes when you're not actively seeking it. It's important to be open and available to welcome love into your life. Try to focus on personal development and activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. When you are happy and content with your life, you attract positive energies that can draw love into your life.

    It is also important to be patient and take your time in finding a relationship. When you meet someone new, take the time to really get to know them and see if you are compatible in a deeper rather than superficial way.

    Remember to be yourself all the time and don't try to change yourself for others or to attract a certain person. True love comes naturally when there is a genuine connection between two people.

    Finally, keep in mind that love comes in many different forms - it doesn't necessarily have to be just romantic. It can be a strong self-love or the friendship of a close person who loves you exactly as you are.

    I hope these tips help you. Be patient and remember that love always comes at the right time.

    With love,
    Alegsa
  • How do I know if there is a deeper connection or chemistry between me and a person?

    It's a good and important question to consider when you're in a relationship or trying to build a new one. There are many factors that can indicate a deeper connection or chemistry between two people, and I'd like to share some of them with you.

    First of all, pay attention to the way you feel around the person. If you feel attracted to them in a deeper way than just physical attraction, it could be a sign that you have a stronger connection. If you also feel comfortable and open around the person and feel that they listen to you and respect your thoughts and feelings, this could also indicate a stronger connection.

    You can also look at your shared interests and values. If you share similar interests or have the same outlook on life, this can contribute to a deeper connection. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to have everything in common, but if your core values align, it can help build a stronger connection.

    Finally, you can look at the communication between you. If you're able to speak honestly and openly with each other without fear of judgement or criticism, it could indicate a deeper connection. Being able to share your innermost thoughts and feelings with someone is an important part of building a strong relationship.

    So, all in all, if you feel attracted to the person in a deeper way than just physical attraction, if you have shared interests and values, and if you can communicate openly and honestly with each other, it could indicate a stronger connection or chemistry between you.
  • Why am I best at and have the easiest time feeling sexually connected to a person, but I don't have the deeper connection with it?

    It's normal to have a strong sexual attraction to someone, but it can be harder to build a deeper relationship. This is often because sexual attraction is based on physical and chemical factors, while deeper relationships require time and effort to develop.

    One possible reason for your experience could be that you are focusing on the physical side of relationships and perhaps not prioritising the other aspects as much. It can be helpful to reflect on your past experiences with relationships and try to identify patterns in your actions and decisions.

    While it can be tempting to let sexual attraction drive your decisions, it can be beneficial to take the time to really get to know the other person first. Try to build a friendship and work on communication between the two of you. This will help you get to know each other better and create a stronger foundation for a deeper relationship.

    I hope this answer was helpful to you. If you have any more questions or would like further advice, please feel free to get back to me anytime.
  • What is a possible reason why it can be difficult to build a deeper relationship?

    Building a deeper relationship can be difficult for many different reasons. One possible reason could be that you tend to protect yourself and your feelings more than necessary. You may have experienced trauma or disappointment in past relationships that have made it difficult for you to trust others and let go of control.

    Another possible reason could be that you tend to be very focused on your work or career, making it difficult to find the time and energy to invest in a relationship.

    Whatever the reason, I would recommend taking time to reflect on your own feelings and needs. Also, try to communicate openly with potential partners about your concerns and fears. This can help build trust and create a stronger connection.

    Remember, building a deeper relationship takes time and patience. Be patient with yourself and choose your relationships carefully. Focus on quality over quantity when it comes to your social life.

    I hope this helps!
  • Is it harder to find a new relationship after being together with my husband for 40 years, is that why I can't?

    Finding a new relationship after being with your husband of 40 years can be a challenge. It's perfectly normal to feel insecure, nervous or even scared at the thought of finding a new partner at this point in your life.

    But that doesn't necessarily mean it's impossible. On the contrary, starting a new journey and meeting new people can be an exciting and rewarding experience. It can also allow you to learn more about yourself and your needs in a relationship.

    Keep in mind that it's important to give yourself time to get over your previous relationship and grieve the loss of it. Allow yourself to process your feelings before jumping into something new.

    When you're ready to start dating again, don't just try online dating, but also try social events like parties or events where you can meet new people. Be open to new experiences and opportunities.

    Most importantly, trust yourself and trust your intuition when it comes to choosing a partner. You'll probably meet some people who aren't right for you along the way, but stick to what you're looking for and don't let fear stop you from trying again.

    I hope this helps!
