While these traits are certainly desirable, a healthy relationship is built on more profound attributes like honesty, trust, and communication.

A recent study published in The Journal of Positive Psychology reveals that the way people engage with art is associated with their sense of meaning in life.

This suggests that fostering these types of artistic experiences might be related to enhanced feelings of purpose, coherence, and significance in life.
