5 AMAZING Tips for Healthy Relationships | Kati Morton

I have talked a lot about toxic relationships, we have discussed how to deal with it when those who are toxic are in our family, we have gone through how to end an unhealthy friendship, and pretty much everything in between. I mean I even dedicated an entire chapter in my book to toxic relationships so I know it’s something we all have to deal with. But what I haven’t talked enough about is how to start healthy ones. How do we not get into toxic relationships in the first place? Are there things we can do to ensure we are picking the right people? What about our role? What can we do to be a better partner, friend, or family member? So that’s what we are going to go through today.. How to have happy and healthy relationships.
1. The first thing I want to address is our past.
2. Slow down. Everyone seems to rush into things these days.
3. Give each other space! Be aware of codependency.
4. Show mutual respect.
5. Be willing to forgive.

Well I clicked very fast didn't i😂❤🙌🏼
Always looking for ways of improving with any relationship

Something that I learned recently is to not jump to conclusions. If your partner does something you don't like, don't just get angry, ask them why. Open up a conversation. I know for me, in my particular scenario, it led to a deeper understand of my boyfriend's mind and his own struggles and how he copes. It also resulted in a lot of introspection for me. I really had to dig and figure out why I reacted the way I did. It ultimately strengthened our bond and we learned to forgive each other, I feel like it's one of those experiences that'll help us in the future.

“We are all whole on our own, we have everything we need inside ourselves” I wish I had heard this YEARS ago. This was a hard lesson for me to learn & it took my marriage ending to figure it out

I'm no expert but I find my partners are most happy when I give them a little push to go do their hobbies. Both alone and accasionaly joining in. Don't give up your hobbies for your partner either.

Confidence, clarity, and a love for someone else. Not what someone else does for you

Me and boyfriend are being together more than 5 months, and we are very happy, that magic Kati talked about, about slowing down, we actually had that magic. Everything is going so smooth. We have a very healthy relationship. We can't wait for our future together.
We are very respectful to each other
When we have some arguments, we are very civil and let each other tell our side of the story and talk it out and if it needs forgiveness we forgive and move on.
We are very honest and never hide anything from each other.
We are closest person to each other.
These past 5 months was very, very significant and that was a gift.

My partner and I have had a really unhealthy relationship but we're both seeing counsellors and working on our issues and things are improving dramatically.
We realised that codependency is not healthy, and we need to be emotionally healthy to make our relationship healthy.

One thing that I always try to keep in mind when discussing an issue with a loved one is that you can never take back your words, so if you say something hurtful without thinking, it doesn't matter if you meant it or not, it's already said, and you can say sorry later but that person may never forget what you said in the first place. So, we have to always be careful with our words 😊

A another thing is boundries. I started a new course today and it was amazing how many people were willing to drop their own boundaries and start exchanging details from the get go. It is as you said. Give things time.

Just got out of a pretty unhealthy relationship. Feel like I need to almost find myself and what makes me happy again. I needed this video, thanks Kati! :)

*Spend time on each other and keep doing so.*
Make one evening per week your "date night" where you only give attention to each other 😊

[anaafrida]

I'm finally in a relationship where I feel loved and respected. I'm just constantly worried that something will go wrong; that someday I'll overreact to something and he won't be able to forgive me. He keeps assuring me that everything will be fine, but I just can't shake the fear that he might just get tired of dealing with my mood swings someday.

For the longest time I never understood why I struggled to have friendships/relationships (though I also pushed everyone away) and only recently have understood it stems from my parents' relationship and learning I've been codependent most of my life. It's been really uncomfortable to understand my part in why relationships fail/don't exist, but necessary to see the patterns. These steps definitely emphasize what I'm learning and serve as great reminders. x

I haven't had a romantic relationship in about three years because I felt like I just needed a break. The last relationship was really suffocating, and stressful. I feel complete, peaceful, and fulfilled on my own too hence the no rush to jump back into another one. This is a helpful video in that the questions you were asking in the beginning really need to be something I ask myself, and explore a little more. I've already thought about all those tips you gave (even before this video ever existed) so I feel like I've been on the right track on my own about how I want to approach my next relationship. This applies to friendships too, and I'm just working on it all at my own pace. Thank you 🙂.

I often find the best relationships are the ones where you can casually joke about breaking up and laugh it off. It reinstates that there's trust and you can make each other happy :)

I feel like I can't form really close relationships...I have good friends but I often feel left out or not close enough if that makes sense. I think that I am doing something wrong but I can't exactly tell what.I would love to hear your advice❤

[jols_dee]

The best thing I learned when trying to foster healthier relationships was learning how to communicate effectively and learning how to listen (really listen). When someone is talking, especially if it's an argument, don't interrupt. Take notes if you have to, so you can ask your questions or voice your concerns when you're done.

The single dislike is from a divorce attorney. Real talk though, this is impeccably timed for me and I love having a video that I can compare myself to and validate myself with.

I liked the jazz music at the end. Chilling with Katie.
