According to Dr. Waldinger, the key to happiness lies in the quality of our relationships. Contrary to the common pursuit of wealth, fame, or career success, the study reveals that having strong and meaningful connections with others is what truly matters. The depth and warmth of our relationships, whether with family, friends, or romantic partners, have a profound impact on our overall well-being.
Dr. Waldinger emphasizes that it is not the quantity of relationships, but the quality that counts. Building and nurturing close relationships requires time, effort, and vulnerability. It means investing in deep connections, being present for others, and cultivating empathy and compassion. In a world dominated by technology and social media, where superficial interactions often prevail, Dr. Waldinger’s research reminds us of the importance of genuine human connection.
The study also highlights that the quality of our relationships has a direct influence on our physical and mental health. Those with satisfying relationships tend to have longer and healthier lives, while loneliness and social isolation can have detrimental effects on both our well-being and longevity.
In our pursuit of happiness, let us take a page from Dr. Waldinger’s research and prioritize nurturing meaningful relationships. It is the love, support, and connection we share with others that truly enrich our lives and bring us lasting happiness. As we navigate the complexities of modern existence, we need to remember that our relationships hold the key to unlocking the secrets of true happiness.

]]>Ah, the art of the love letter. In the age of instant messaging and emojis, handwritten letters may seem like relics of the past. But let’s not underestimate the power of a heartfelt note. Taking the time to put pen to paper and express your feelings in a personal and intimate way can reignite the spark and bring back a sense of romance. So dust off your stationary and let the ink flow!
There’s something magical about dancing together. In the past, couples would waltz, tango, or swing their way across dance floors, lost in each other’s arms. So why not dust off your dancing shoes and sway to the rhythm? Whether it’s taking a dance class, attending a social dance event, or simply slow dancing in your living room, moving together to the music is a beautiful way to bond and create a deeper connection.
In a world dominated by screens and constant connectivity, it’s essential to unplug and dedicate uninterrupted time to each other. Turn off the devices, put them away, and focus solely on each other. Engage in meaningful conversations, play games, take walks, or simply sit in silence and enjoy each other’s presence. Rediscovering the joy of unplugged quality time will deepen your connection and remind you of the simple pleasures of being together.

]]>One of the best ways to make new friends as an adult is to engage in activities that align with your interests. Join local clubs, hobby groups, or recreational sports teams where you can connect with like-minded individuals and bond over your shared interests. Volunteering for causes you care about is also a great way to meet people who share your values.
In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining existing friendships in adulthood requires consistent effort. Schedule catch-up calls, plan outings or virtual hangouts, and remember important milestones in your friends’ lives. Be an active listener, offering support and empathy when needed. Quality time, whether in person or online, builds a strong foundation and allows friendships to withstand busier, more challenging periods.
The internet provides ample opportunities to connect with new people, especially through online communities and social media platforms that cater to your interests. Participate in discussions, offer insights, and engage with others who share your passions. Offline, attend local events or seminars to expand your network and meet potential friends face-to-face.

]]>These are verbal expressions of affection, encouragement, and appreciation. “Thank you for picking me up” or ”You look great today” for example. Basically telling your partner that you appreciate them.
Gifts are pretty straightforward: you feel loved when you receive “visual symbols of love”. It’s not necessarily about the monetary value of the present, but rather its emotional significance.
This means doing kind or helpful gestures for your partner, like washing the dishes so they can relax or making coffee for them in the morning.
People whose love language is quality time feel most adored when their partner wants to actively spend time and engage in activities with them. Think of things like taking a walk after dinner, or watching a movie together.
Those with physical touch as their love language value physical intimacy highly, whether it’s sexual or more platonic. It can be hugging, kissing, cuddling on the couch, holding hands, or just being physically close to your partner.

]]>An open discussion about money is crucial. Talk about what your families were like when it came to money, what are your long-term goals, and what are your values. These talks will lead to developing your budget in a way that benefits you both.
While more and more people decide not to join all the finances in marriage, having a joint account for rent, groceries, utilities, and vacations can help you both feel better about budgeting money as a couple. It doesn’t have to be 50/50, you can do it proportionally based on individual incomes.
Couples who have some money left for emergencies tend to feel more relaxed and secure. Prioritizing this type of saving over reckless spending is incredibly important for every couple. They know they can count on each other in case anything unpredicted happens.

]]>Finding your own space while you’re quarantined in a small apartment can be difficult, but you can always take a long shower, or allow your partner to FaceTime a friend in a room, or go to another room to read a book.
You may not be able to dine at your favorite restaurant, but with some creativity, you can have a special date night. Try making a picnic on the living room floor or create a theme night for the next vacation you want to take. You can keep it more chill by completing puzzles or playing board games.
Spend some time together being productive and completing a project like building an IKEA piece you’ve been putting off or cleaning out the garage.
Connect with other couples via Zoom, FaceTime, or Skype. You can plan game nights or happy hours with your friends.
Cancel out all the other distractions like phones and TV and show your partner you truly care about them by giving them your full attention.

]]>The post How Long Should it Take to Get Over Your Ex? appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>We suggest unfollowing your ex on all forms of social media and deleting his contact information. There’s no need for you to have to see a daily reminder of what you used to have. It’s also not healthy to constantly be thinking about what you were and your future together. There’s a reason you broke up.
“The hardest part of getting over a relationship is often not the loss of the actual person, but the loss of the fantasy of what you thought could happen,” said marriage and relationship specialist Julianna Morris.
With all this free time you now have, you can try new things that you wouldn’t have thought of trying before. You’ll have time to take a new exercise class, spend girl’s nights with your bestie, or taking up a new hobby; the possibilities are endless.
There’s really no set timeline it should take to get over someone as it depends on a lot of different factors, like how entangled you were with the person and did you live together? Don’t fret if it’s been a week since the breakup and you haven’t gotten around to updating your dating profile or changing your relationship status on facebook.

]]>Knowing they can count on your help means a lot. Even if they end up saying you don’t need to do anything, just the offer can mean a lot and take the pressure off a person’s chest.
You may think your closest friends and family members look great, but when was the last time you told them that? It’s a simple compliment that everyone likes to receive, and it can be especially important to tell it to your partner every once in a while to let them know you still like the way they look.
After saying “thank you” multiple times every day in interactions with strangers, we often forget that we need to say it to those who are closest to us. Again, don’t take it for granted and make sure your family and friends know you appreciate them and their efforts.

]]>Living together is not that different than being married. You’re now sharing your home with another person and you won’t always agree on things. It’s crucial you both learn how to compromise. This doesn’t mean you always meet in half; it’s about setting priorities and meeting each other’s needs.
If you can, get a place with at least two separate rooms. This will help you respect each other’s privacy when needed. Perhaps you want to go to bed early and they would rather stay up – not a problem when your living room is not also your bedroom.
Learn how to communicate. The longer you stay silent about the things that bother you, the worse your relationship will be. Try to leave ego aside and understand that you’re both working towards the same goal – a happy life together. Hopefully, you’ll discover many great things about each other along the way and your relationship will become that much stronger.
