What to Know if You Want a Healthy Relationship

Relationships take a lot of work, that goes without saying, but they also require a lot of knowledge. Here are two important things to know if you want a healthy relationship.

It’s ok to be attracted to other people. It’s easy to think that by being with someone, we can’t so much as look at someone else, but repressing these urges does far more harm than good and even makes us more likely to act on them. A committed relationship doesn’t mean you’ll never find someone else attractive or interesting, it means you’ll acknowledge what you find attractive or interesting in someone else while remembering that your chosen partner offers all that and more. Once you come to that realization, it’s a lot easier to overcome temptation.

Relationships end, and it’s important to know when to end them. Relationships are often romanticized in literature and in film, with characters in a love story often sacrificing anything, and occasionally everything, just to be with each other. It’s perhaps one of the reasons why we view the end of relationships as personal failures, when it’s just not the case. Compatibility, circumstances, timing, life goals, they all play huge roles in determining the success of a relationship, and when they just don’t align it’s worth considering that the relationship may not be worthwhile anymore.

The Chemistry of Attraction

You know the feeling. Some people equate it to butterflies in the stomach, others equate it to walking on air, but one way or another you definitely feel something when you’re attracted to someone. But just what is attraction? To help explain it, here are just a few of the many chemicals at play in the body and brain when we’re attracted to someone.

Adrenaline: Feel like your heart is racing when the object of your affection so much as walks by? That’s your body releasing adrenaline into your system, a chemical which puts you on high alert and sends oxygen-enriched blood throughout your body to prepare you for immediate action.

Dopamine: Does the mere presence of your crush make you feel happy? Or dare we say even giddy? That’s dopamine at play, a chemical released by the body as a reward stimuli. Unfortunately, dopamine is a double edged sword and can nurture habit forming behaviors like cravings and drug abuse.

Serotonin: Every hear that cheesy old pickup line “your legs must be tired because you’ve been walking around in my mind all day?” Well, when you just can’t seem to get someone off your mind, serotonin is usually to blame, or rather, a drop in serotonin. That same drop in serotonin is present in people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, just to add some food for thought.

Speeding up Romantic Bonds

Many who look for love crave that intimate connection, that deep romantic bond that comes from a long-term committed relationship. The problem is, however, that kind of connection takes a lot of time to develop, and some wish there was a way to speed up the process and have that experience sooner. Enter Arthur Aron, a psychologist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Aron took interest in the way people develop romantic bonds and came up with a creative way of speeding up those bonds through a series of questions. The questions, and much more, can be found in Aron’s 2004 Handbook of Closeness and Intimacy Paperback, co-written by Debra J. Mashek, but here’s just a few for those who’d like some first date question ideas. 😉

Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?
Would you like to be famous? In what way?
Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?
What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?
When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?
If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?
