7. Developing Relationships
To effectively develop relationships and maintain good social health, you must be willing to do the following:
“Give” of yourself: This could include sacrificing time, effort, energy or money.
Have adequate levels of self-esteem: Being mentally and emotionally secure with oneself can help an individual maintain healthy relationships.
Establish a sense of identity: Sacrificing personal characteristics often results in less satisfying relationships, while acting like your true self will strengthen social bonds.

8. Characteristics of a healthy relationship
Trust - those involved have faith in each other and will do what is best for the relationship.
Compassion - the physical and emotional well-being of others in the relationship is considered important.
Respect - sacrifices made for the relationship such as time, effort and money are acknowledged and valued.
Acceptance - changing individual characteristics and personality traits is not an expectation.

9. Challenges In Relationships
A lack of honesty or openness, unrealistic expectations and jealousy are all factors that can push relationships to an unhealthy state.
For example, a spouse that expects his or her husband or wife to do the majority of the housework without any display of appreciation may experience a low-quality relationship as a result.
