Relationships, (Parent/Child, Teacher/Student, Employer/Employee, Romantic, Friendship, etc.) flourish if/when both puts the other first. One of the essential aspects of a successful relationship is Communication. Communication is to be used to nourish relationships. A relationship that is nourished is healthy as well as strong and can "weather the storm" much better than one that is weak because one or both parties have chosen to neglect it.
Besides Communication, Respect is one of the first character traits necessary for a sound relationship. Without Respect, relationships are certain to not last long. Respect is a sign of wisdom, strength and maturity. They're like muscles, the more they're used, the longer you'll keep your Peace of mind.
Humility is another very crucial part of what it takes to have a healthy relationship. That word doesn't sit well with many because its believed Humility is thinking less of yourself when in fact, it means to think of yourself less! The results of thinking of yourself less are far greater (for all involved) when you're willing to practice Humility more frequently.
Honesty is an absolute requirement for a strong and healthy relationship. By choosing to be Honest, rather than assume what you're afraid the outcome will be, you show the other you value the relationship and their Trust and would not want to further jeopardize either.
If nothing else, remember your relationships reflect your time and effort in them. Think of a plant, it needs to be nurtured with water, sunlight, pruning, your time, your attention, etc., so does relationships. With Communication, Respect, Humility, Honesty, etc., you're bound to improve your own life by improving your relationships.
