YOUR SAFE HAVEN (SELF-HELP BOOK)

Healthy Relationship Standards

Why is it important to have a standard for a relationship?

Standard-setting is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it shows that you are self-aware and won't accept anything less.

Setting standards is crucial for fostering wholesome and respectful relationships, just as you have expectations for how you want to be treated and how you treat others.
 
It's not necessary to be extremely rigid or demanding while setting standards. It's about being aware of your own worth, comprehending the things you want, and having the courage to communicate them. A border that protects your emotional, mental, and even physical health is established when you set out standards.

You deserved love, respect, and thoughtfulness in any relationship. Your standards aid you in identifying when these characteristics are present or missing.

Saying no to partnerships that don't uphold your standards and removing yourself from circumstances that sap your energy are both absolutely acceptable.

You send a powerful message to yourself and the people around you when you uphold your standards. You're demonstrating your self-respect, commitment to personal development, and will to never accept anything less than what you genuinely deserve. This mindset establishes the type of relationships you cultivate and keep.
 
It is not a horrible thing to be single. Being alone is far preferable to being in the wrong relationship for you. Maintaining high standards is preferable to making concessions merely to end loneliness. Keep in mind that you are not the only person with this thinking. Many people decide to wait for something genuine and significant instead of accepting something that is beneath them.

It is not difficult to love someone who craves admiration. It's not a sign of being hard to love if you need quality time together. It is not difficult to love someone who expects to be treated as a priority rather than an option. It is not difficult to love someone who has standards.

You are looking for someone to enrich your life and give you a sense of value and appreciation. You're looking for someone who will adhere to your standards because they have them as well.

These emotions and expectations demonstrate that you are aware of your own value. They demonstrate your high standards. They demonstrate that you'll eventually discover a love that is in line with what you genuinely deserve.
