International Day of Happiness: How Caring & Sharing among couples are important for the Well being of their Relationship

Positive Relationships are not only important for a good mental health but also to keep the environment of the home healthy.

In today’s scenario the modern day relationships are facing lot of turmoils. This year’s theme of International Day of Happiness focus on Caring & Sharing as it helps to strengthen bonds and better connections.

Experts today believe that a healthy relationship in couples not only needs love and caring but also space.

Shobha Gupta who is a Psychological Counselor and Healer from Ghaziabad says Everyone has a different point of views in life and so among couples giving each other that space that both can exist at the same time creates a beautiful relationship.”

As the relationships are drifting apart on the pretext of the partners feeling lonely in each other’s company and lack of support especially among couples after they became parents lead to finding love outside thus indulging into activities which are not acceptable in society.

Trauma Informed Coach Nehaa Goyal adds another perspective that how through Caring & Sharing of thoughts , feelings and emotions the relationship can foresee a positive shift of happiness, she suggests “When caring and sharing are missing in a relationship, it’s often a sign of something deeper—old patterns, unspoken needs, or even ancestral imprints. But the beautiful part? The moment couples start noticing these patterns and bring in *genuine care and open sharing*, everything shifts! It’s like adding warmth to a cold room—suddenly, there’s more ease, more laughter, more connection. When partners offer care freely and share without hesitation, the relationship transforms into a space of *joy, growth, and deep emotional safety*—where love isn’t just felt but truly lived.

Indian marriages often face external pressures—whether from extended families, societal expectations, or career demands. Couples who practice caring and sharing are better equipped to handle these challenges. Research in Indian relationship dynamics shows that emotional reciprocity and shared decision-making enhance marital harmony and resilience.

Dr Radhika Gupta, Founder of Holistic Healing Harmony from Chandigarh suggests certain Practical Strategies to Cultivate Caring & Sharing for Happiness and Well being among couples:

1. Express Love in Everyday Actions – A simple “Did you eat?” or “Let me help you with this” carries immense emotional weight in Indian relationships.

2. Engage in Shared Experiences – Create rituals, such as weekly date nights or morning walks, to build lasting memories.

3. Respect Each Other’s Families – In India, a partner’s family is often as important as the partner. Supporting and sharing responsibilities with in-laws fosters long-term harmony.

4. Express Gratitude & Appreciation – Acknowledging and appreciating your partner’s efforts reinforces positive behavior and strengthens bonds.

5. Support Each Other’s Growth– Encouraging personal development and celebrating each other’s achievements cultivates a thriving relationship.

6. Be Emotionally Available – Indian relationships thrive on emotional interdependence. Listening, offering support, and being present during tough times strengthen the partnership.

Even Yatika Tyagi a Mental Health Coach says ” Sharing responsibility at the same time helps to reduce stress on one partner and life becomes enjoyable for both if couples are ready to help each other with kind gestures. Comforting words and hugs create harmony in the relationship, and this not only helps a coupe to live a Happy Life, it also brings calmness and peace in the environment.

Home becomes a perfect place where you both reach the pinnacle of success, children too bloom like a flower with the shower of love and a dose of confidence- they have a family to rely upon.

Therefore a caring family not only flourishes but also builds a strong foundation for the next generation to come.
