How does one know if they are in a healthy relationship?
A healthy relationship is one where both of you are connecting, there is a basic equaliy in the relationship, and you both strive to understand each other and share.
If you and yours are generally happy, there is no abuse, there is plenty of give and take, and you can work out your problems by talking rather than screaming then the relationship is probably healthy.
Too many people try to tell others what their idea of a healthy relationship is but those same people make their judgements based on their own learning, education, upbringing, religion, etc. Quite simply though, and in the end, it’s pretty much up to you to decide what is right, and what is healthy for YOU.
I tell people that you have to have the basics to make any relationship work: trust, self-respect, respect for the other, honesty, compassion, tolerance, and the ability to fogive. If you don’t have any of these then your relationship cannot grow, it will stagnate, and fall apart.
Keep an open mind, keep an open heart, and above all keep working at your relationship. Learn something new about your partner every day. Don’t worry so much if you’re relationship is healthy inasmuch you should be concerned that you have mutual happiness, love, and understanding.
Good luck to you!
YOu are in a healthy relationship …. If both of you know you both are at weak at certain aspects of your life and ensure you dont pulll down on each other either privately or publicly on those aspects. You know you are in a healthy relationship if you dont have to act for being in it you can be the REAL YOU . !!! You know you are in a healthy relationship … if a HUG is all that takes to make you two stop fighting 🙂
