Relationship Wellness Month is celebrated every February to encourage people to build and maintain healthy relationships. Relationships can be platonic, amicable, business-related, or transactional, among other things. However, the emphasis of Relationship Wellness Month is on romantic relationships. The ability "to meet your five fundamental human needs because of your connection, not despite it," is what the Relationship Center defines as relationship wellness. These five fundamental needs are connection, survival, significance, freedom and joy.

Why We Celebrate Relationship Wellness Month

 

Healthy relationships provide a sense of purpose

As humans, we have a natural desire to participate in something greater than ourselves and make a meaningful or constructive contribution to the lives of others or the planet. The same experience and feeling can be found in a healthy relationship when partners look out for one another, giving you a deeper sense of purpose.

Healthy Relationships Promote Personal Development.

People are more willing to take risks and work for their objectives when they have the solid confidence that someone will always back them, no matter the situation.

 

Healthy Relationships Reduce Stress and Enhance Lives.

Research indicates that committed couples are less sensitive to psychological stress. This is so because healthy relationships act as stress reducers by providing social and emotional support. Having one or two healthy relationships can also have a positive effect on your health, lowering blood pressure and boosting your immune system.

How To Celebrate Relationship Wellness Month

 

Assess Your Relationship

The majority of couples consistently neglect to review the state of their relationship. Is your relationship developing as you had hoped? Are you both content with the way your relationship is going right now? What should be stopped, kept up, and improved? Set aside some time during Relationship Wellness Month to discuss these with your partner.

Go On a Date

A classic way to honour anything in a relationship is to go on a date. Pick a fancy restaurant or a place you know your partner would love like an Art Gallery, the beach, a paint and sip centre, a Spa, etc. The point is to take your special someone out for a beautiful evening.

Express Gratitude

There are numerous ways you can show your significant other your gratitude. You can spend some time telling them what you like about them. That may be the reason they cheer you on, make you smile, and do so much more. Making the time to accomplish this help you maintain a solid, lasting relationship.
