Keywords:
interpersonal relationships, freedom and happiness dynamics, relationship satisfaction, personal authenticity, emotional well-being
Abstract
This article explores the complex interplay between the concepts of freedom and happiness in the realm of interpersonal relationships in contemporary society. Utilizing empirical research, the study argues that freedom serves as an essential foundation for achieving happiness, underscoring the importance of an individual's ability to express themselves genuinely. In turn, happiness is identified as a significant enhancer of freedom, creating an environment of security and support that enables individuals to discover and develop different aspects of their personalities. The research further examines the critical balance between freedom and commitment, cautioning against the extremes of either. Through examples across various relational contexts, the article advocates for establishing a harmonious balance to foster healthy and rewarding interpersonal connections. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the symbiotic relationship between freedom and happiness, with practical implications for improving relationship satisfaction and overall well-being.
