Remember that just because you care about each other, doesn’t mean that you need to spend every waking moment together. There is nothing wrong with you pursuing your own interests and hobbies. After all, this will keep your relationship fresh and it will also give you the chance to grow as individuals. If you feel as though you are emotionally reliant on the other person then it could be worth learning how to break the cycle of codependency.
You Fight
Disagreements are normal. If you never have even minor arguments, then there is a chance that you are holding back. You have to remember that not all fights are bad, in fact, sometimes they can be a productive way of expressing your emotions, especially if you are trying to understand your partner, or have them understand you. If you spend all of your time trying to point-score then this will really harm your relationship and it could lead to miscommunication in the future.
You Like your Partner as they Are
Healthy relationships are always based on reality. Your relationship won’t get better if you have a baby, win the lottery or even purchase your dream home. For this reason, you have to love your partner for who they are. If you base your affection on what you see in the future then you could be setting yourself up for false hope, while also putting an unhealthy spin on your relationship.
Joint Decisions
If you call all of the shots, or if your partner does then this could indicate that your relationship is unhealthy. You need to learn how to make decisions together and you also need to know each other’s concerns and desires too.
You Laugh
Healthy relationships usually consist of fun and laughter. This doesn’t mean that you have to be giddy every day. Sure, your partner may drive you up the wall sometimes, but as long as you enjoy your time with each other then that’s all that matters. You may enjoy making dinner together, laugh at the same things or even finish one another’s sentences. It’s little things like this that show that you have a healthy relationship and it is also a great way for you to connect with your partner on a much deeper level.
Balance
Relationships are often about balance. Sometimes your partner will need to work long hours while you cook or clean, and sometimes it will be vice versa. Behind every healthy relationship is a healthy level of balance between two people.

I was always a IOS person, I had an android phone in the past and absolutely hated it…I had an iPod touch that I loved until my hubby bought me an iPad, and I was completely happy for 2 years, that is until I received my Samsung Tab S this past Christmas.
I confess, I didn’t want to love it, but I did what I was supposed to do and review it for you guys (you can find that here). Well after two weeks of use, I gave up my iPad for the Samsung Tab S, I was over it and here is why
Customizability. I love organizing, and while on IOS you can create folders & maybe make a page for certain things, with the Samsung Tab S & Android its so much more! Widgets, folders, and you don’t even have to see every app you have if you don’t want to! My front page has my most used apps, while the page to the right contains the weather widget & my library widget, easy to flip over and look at the weather or access my reading materials. Then my left page consists of my calendar, office, and email. I love the clean look and easy access to my everyday apps.
Usefullness. When I received the Samsung Tab S there were several offers for FREE apps including Hancom Office, Scrapbook, S Note and many others. Hancome office comes with HWord, HCell (spreadsheet) & HShow (presentation). Scrapbook is great for organizing webpages, photos & screenshots…& the S Note is great for, well taking Notes, with keyboard or handwriting. Plus you can do two things at once with Multi-window, like watch a music video and look up the lyrics or read an email and edit a presentation. Opening two windows or apps at the same time gives you the ability multitask and get things done faster than ever before. Then there is the Ultra Power Saving Mode that keeps you connected even when your battery is critically low. It works by turning your screen to black and white and shuts off nonessential apps, so your device still works when you need it most. I haven’t had to use it yet, but you never know!
Portability. Like i said I had the iPad for 2 years prior, and yes I tote it with me..if you’ve ever carried one with you, it’s fairly heavy, I know they’ve come out with an air, I bought one for my grandmother…but I can literally pick up the Samsung Tab S with two fingers and hold it in one hand (comes in handy when your multi tasking). It fits comfortably in my purse and being less than 1lb it doesn’t add a noticeable weight to my purse.
Family Friendly. Yes, I share my tablet with my kiddos. With Multi User Mode, everyone in the family can create a private and personalized tablet experience that can be secured with the fingerprint scanner. And for those wanting to keep the little ones entertained, Kids Mode lets you customize playtime and apps with parental controls. I love all the learning apps that are available now days, and my little guy loves watching his shows whenever he likes. Unlike the IOS, Samsung has a designated “app” that collects all the apps you choose to have for your child and password protects the home button so there is no way they can get into your stuff. It gives me piece of mind when he’s on there that he’s not facebooking someone or emailing a pr rep. some gibberish.
I know some people are die-hard IOS fans, I used to think I was one. We still have the iPad and an iPad mini that my husband and the kids use. For now I’m extremely happy with my Samsung Tab S 8.4.

Admitting that a habit of yours might be a problem is always the first step. Furthermore, identifying the mechanics of how that said habit works can be invaluable in helping you learn how to outmaneuver it. For instance, learning if you have psychological triggers that set off your urges is always wise. In the case of people who have a habit of drinking too much, they might find that social situations are a trigger for them to get a drink. By learning your triggers, you can avoid them at first, but then become more mindful of them and learn to resist them with time.
Replace them with better habits, too
Rather than simply removing your bad habit and hoping nothing fills the void left behind, you can fill that void yourself. With smoking, there are a range of replacement therapies available, from patches to https://bidivapor.com/. However, incorporating other, healthier habits can work just as well. Exercise is known to be not only a great distraction but to help improve your motivation and mood, strengthening you for the fight against your habits even more so.
Addressing your emotional health
Some habits are born purely of circumstance. We can get attached or addicted to certain things physically, and it becomes a part of us. However, our mental health often has a role to play in addictions as well. People suffering under severe stress, anxiety, and depression are more likely to fall into the most dangerous of habits. Seeking help is advisable, but taking small steps to improve your self-esteem and manage your own mental health can help, as well.
