Studies show that people who experience happy and healthy relationships tend to live longer. When we feel happy, joyful, relaxed and loving in the company of friends, lovers, partners, children, family, pets etc we release our own internal feel good chemicals into the body such as Oxytocin (known as the Love Hormone). By releasing Oxytocin into the body you will feel better, ease stress and help support the immune system and natural healing.<\/span><\/p>

It would make sense then, that your health and well being is significantly impacted by the people you spend most of your time with. Maybe now is a good time to reevaluate your closest relationships and consider which ones promote greater health and the relationships that don\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>

Take a moment to reflect and journal<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Identify relationships that make you feel GOOD and why?<\/span><\/p>

Identify relationships that don\u2019t feel so good and why?<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Now let\u2019s take a deeper look at how we understand relationships and identify 5 relationship types. There are 5 types of relationship needs and it\u2019s important to note, you can\u2019t get everything you need from one person.<\/p>

<\/p>

The 5 relationship types:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Friendship<\/span><\/strong> deep levels of connections, understanding, fun and sharing of similar interests<\/span><\/p>

Love<\/span><\/strong> unconditional, deep commitment with a partner, self love and acceptance<\/span><\/p>

Touch<\/span><\/strong> a hug, cuddle, massage<\/span><\/p>

Intimacy<\/span><\/strong> a deep level of openness, a vulnerability with another and a deep level of trust<\/span><\/p>

Sex<\/span><\/strong> a sacred union with a partner<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Take a moment to reflect & journal to recognise your own relationship needs<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Evaluate how they're being met and with who<\/span><\/p>

How can you improve and strengthen the relationship needs that are being met<\/span><\/p>

How you can meet relationship needs that aren\u2019t being met<\/span><\/p>

The 5 Love Languages<\/strong><\/p>

You could take your relationships another step further and explore Dr Gary Chapman\u2019s work about Love Languages. He wrote the book The 5 Love Languages which describes how people receive and give love in different ways. By gaining a deeper appreciation of how those that you care and love like to receive love helps you to meet their needs and strengthen bonds. By the same token, understanding your own helps you ensure that your needs are being met!<\/p>
