Strong relationships are one of the most powerful predictors of long-term health — mentally and physically.
But in today’s culture of packed schedules and constant distractions, meaningful connections are often the first thing to slip.
You don’t need a dozen close friends to feel supported. One strong relationship can make a difference in tough times or good times. It can steady your emotions, reduce stress, and help you bounce back when life doesn’t go as planned.
Studies show that people with strong social connections tend to feel more emotionally stable and have greater meaning in their lives.
