S3 Episode 10: A Healthy Relationship Can Be Had at Any Age

Episode Summary

Whether you’re young, middle-aged or entering your twilight years, it is never too late to find a fulfilling relationship. It does not matter if you are single, dating, committed or married. What counts is the mindset that you bring into the relationship. Every day is a new chance to reset. It is up to you to take control and make the changes necessary to achieve the relationship you desire and deserve.
Old habits, unhealthy dynamics or feelings of helplessness can be overcome. Begin by focusing on developing strong communication, respect, self-love and trust. Recognize that all of us can bring something beneficial to a relationship. Be realistic about your wants and needs and be open to seeing a personal evolution.
Realize that you are more than your looks, finances and profession. Stop listening to society, if the messages you are getting about romantic relationships don’t vibe with what you are looking for. It is your life and you get to decide what you are willing to accept.
At the end of each episode, Marlee and Lis vent about commonly experienced issues in romantic relationships. In this episode, the ladies discuss when a person allows their partner to control who they spend time with outside of the relationship.

Show Notes

Feel like you’re too old or too young to build a healthy relationship? The truth is that a healthy relationship can be had at any age. You don’t need tons of wisdom or experience to build a great relationship if you have all the other necessary ingredients.
Older people who have struggled to build a healthy relationship may feel like it’s too late for them because they feel unworthy or too damaged, but that’s not true. That said, you have to be willing to be open and work on yourself in areas you know you need to (remember, sometimes the problem is you).
The values that trickle down from society and to our kids do influence the way they approach relationships from a young age. For example, women tend to be valued for their beauty. It’s important to be aware of these societal messages and do our best to pass along healthier values to the younger generation.
You can create a healthy relationship no matter where you are in your life as long as you create the right foundation. What’s necessary between both people is respect, trust, admiration, and good communication. While love is great, it’s not a foundational component.
In this episode, the vent session topic is: When people allow their partner to control who they hang out with. This is a sign of an abusive relationship and should not be tolerated. It shows insecurity on the part of the person calling the shots. This jealous behavior is not flattering and could even be dangerous.
