So many people are in bad relationships that don't make them feel good or loved at all. Fighting, jealousy, and complaining are just a few of the common themes of these relationships. The trick to a good relationship (which isn't really a trick at all) is to have positive things going on in it like communication, trust, and acceptance. Once you start applying these good traits to your relationship you will find that it will be an unavoidable good relationship.

When you have proper communication in your relationship a lot of needless fights can be avoided. Good communication skills involve listening effectively and talking without blame, guilt, or with your defences up. That's hard to do for a lot of people since we don't want our pride to get hurt, or to be proven wrong, but it's essential to have a good relationship.

Trust is another huge component of a good relationship. When you trust someone, those negative feelings of jealousy and suspicion don't appear. There is nothing better than having total faith in your partner and your relationship with them.

If you can't trust your partner at all, and you find that they give you good reasons to not trust them like cheating or lying, then you may want to rethink your relationship. You can try to get help understanding how to move past those issues, but if that doesn't work then do not spend your life questioning the person who is supposed to be your closest ally. That is no way to live a life.

Acceptance is crucial to a good relationship. Accepting who your partner is, and that they are a unique individual is important. Accepting them for their 'flaws', according to you, and letting them be who they are is important. But accepting our partner is another hard thing for us to do.

We want everyone to think, act, talk, walk, and believe just as we do, but that's not how the world works. Everyone is unique, and just as your partner should not stifle your uniqueness, you should not stifle your partners either.

When you allow your partner to be who they want to be, you avoid the guilt trips you lay on them. You avoid nit-picking the way they do things - which causes you and partner stress. You avoid complaining about the way they are - which causes you and your partner stress. You avoid making them feel like they are not good enough because they don't live up to your expectations of who they should be. When they view you from that state you do not look that good to them.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't correct behavior that hurts you or makes you upset, but you should never try to correct their natural traits that make them who they are.

So inject some proper communication, absolute trust, and complete acceptance into your relationship, and watch how good it becomes. You will be happier and more fulfilled in the relationship, and so will your partner.
