Keeping a relationship healthy

A strong, healthy relationship can be one of the best supports in your life. Good relationships improve your life in all aspects, strengthening your health, your mind and your connections with others as well. However, it can also be one of the greatest drains if the relationship is not working.

Here are a few tips for keeping a relationship strong:

Respect yourself and your partner. A healthy relationship works best when partners share their lives with each other but also have an individual identity.
Make time for each other. Today’s lifestyle can be busy and stressful and it can seem impossible to spend quality time together. However, 80% of couples who break up cite “not making time for each other” as the main reason for their relationship coming to an end.
Communicate – listen – talk – argue. Good communication is essential – listen with interest to your partner, give them encouragement and support. Try to be honest and give your opinions in a constructive way. Sometimes a heated argument can be positive too!
Adapting and accepting. When couples “go with the flow” of life’s changes they can adapt and change together.
A bit of give and take. Healthy relationships are built on compromise. Knowing what is truly important to yourself and your partner can go a long way towards building goodwill and an atmosphere of compromise.
Have fun. Keeping a sense of humour can actually help you get through tough times, reduce stress and work through issues more easily. Find ways to laugh and have fun together.

Thank you for your help. The works to the bridge were completed and great teamwork from both crews. I had a good view from the bridge and was very impressed by their work. Always said it....TM is an art form!

Please accept our thanks your team’s efforts on this project. Chevron have been brilliant, nothing has been too much to ask of you and we have delivered to programme despite the complexities of working at these junctions.

Marlow Carnival 2017

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Area 3 ASC- Emergency Narrow Lane Scheme, M27 J12

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
