The Do’s and Don’ts of a Healthy Relationship

For Men: How to Keep Her Happy

✅ Do This:

• Just listen. Sometimes, she just needs to vent. Don’t jump straight into problem-solving mode … just be there.

• Trust and respect her. A woman thrives in a relationship where she feels emotionally secure.

• Keep dating her. Just because you’ve won her heart doesn’t mean the romance stops. Keep doing the little things.

• Support her emotionally. When she’s upset, she doesn’t always need a solution … sometimes, she just needs reassurance.

• Appreciate the small moments. A sweet text, remembering how she takes her coffee … these little things matter.

• Encourage her dreams. Show interest in her goals and be her biggest cheerleader.

• Apologise when necessary. No one’s perfect. A sincere “I’m sorry” goes a long way.

❌ Avoid This:

• Going to bed angry. It only makes things worse by the morning.

• Shutting down. If you need space, communicate it … don’t just go silent.

• Criticising her appearance. You may think it’s harmless, but she won’t forget it.

• Taking everything literally. When she says, “You NEVER listen to me!” she means right now … not always.

• Forgetting special occasions. Mark them in your calendar. No excuses.

For Women: How to Keep Him Engaged

✅ Do This:

• Make your time together enjoyable. If you want more quality time, make the moments you do have positive.

• Trust and respect him. Just like women, men need to feel valued in a relationship.

• Appreciate the little things. A simple “thank you” when he helps out makes a difference.

• Let him have his space. He’s not pulling away … sometimes, he just needs time to recharge.

• Be open about what you want. He can’t read your mind … so tell him what makes you happy.

• Take the lead in intimacy. He’ll appreciate the effort.

• Respect his “No.” If he says he’s too tired or not in the mood for something, don’t take it personally.

❌ Avoid This:

• Nagging. If something is important to you, express it clearly … but don’t repeat it endlessly.

• Forcing emotional conversations. Men process feelings differently. Give him time.

• Comparing him to a fictional romance hero. He’s not the lead in a Hollywood rom-com … love him for who he is.

• Using intimacy as a reward or punishment. A strong relationship is built on connection, not transactions.

• Trying to change him. Love the man he is now … not the one you hope he’ll become.
