In a healthy relationship you and your partner feel safe, comfortable, good, happy and all those warm fuzzy feelings. Even healthy relationships are going to encounter some difficult challenges, disagreements, disappointment, and even conflicting points of view. Guess what, it's OK! We are human. It's how the each person deals with these challenges and the manner in which they compromise to resolve the differences. The most important part in any relationship is to COMPROMISE (meaning, you talk things out and reach an agreement that you are both comfortable with). It's the best way of getting the best of both worlds.
Here are some good qualities of a healthy relationship:
- Trust
- Respect each others decisions
- Supporting and encouraging each other
- Communication
- verbal
- writing
- body language
- listening
- Sharing is caring
- Acting in the best interest of the relationship not yourself
- Allowing each other to express themselves
- Holding each other accountable
- Fairness, equality and compromise
- and of course great sex! (If it's safe, legal and mutual consent--meaning if you BOTH agree to it)
If you constantly have a warm fuzzy feeling in your gut about the person your in relationship with, you're probably in a healthy relationship.
