Relationships can energize you, make you happy, sad, mad, glad and everything in between. Sometimes relationships can be helpful or hurtful.
They may last for a brief period or last a lifetime. You may or may not be too clear about why one relationship requires so much work and another is a breeze.
Relationships affect your physical and mental health, your behaviors and even how long you live. You might be spending more money, eating out more or other behaviors to avoid worrying or thinking about your relationships. Heart disease, chronic illnesses, immune function and depression are affected by the quality and quantity of relationships.
