Sometimes our relationships seem as turbulent as those in the sitcom "Modern Family."
But if we disagree in a healthy way, this can help keep us together. But it takes a lot of work.     

Being selfish or being right doesn't get you much, instead try to overlook faults and forgive. It's worth it because good relationships can help keep us healthy. 

Experts say mortality rates are lower for people who have good, established, meaningful relationships.

And when the going gets tough, remember to make time for the activities you enjoy together.
