Relationships are unique to all of us. We want it to be as healthy as possible and give our best to maintain it. But sometimes, the more you do, the more it gets tangled up. And so, for a healthy relationship, it is essential to keep your arms open and your mind receptive to new ideas and ideologies. A person with a closed sense can kill a relationship through various barriers such as improper communication, understanding growth etc.
Disagreement and conflict are inevitable in any relationship. However, it depends on how you approach the friction that can make a difference. When we come into conflict with a closed mind, we become unwilling to listen to the other person and don’t hear from a perspective of solving the issue. Such behaviour can make communication dull and frustrating.
While an open mind can help to deal with conflict with an open mindset. And when you are willing to listen to others’ perspectives and consider their feelings, it gives hope to finding a solution which works for everyone. And this helps strengthen the bond and work it.
In conclusion, being open-minded helps build better relationships, while a closed mind kills the relationship.
