15 Signs of a Healthy Relationship.

We spend a lot of time discussing how to recognize destructive relationships that bring nothing but disappointment, resentment, stress and problems.

Much less often we talk about real and fruitful relationships. Today we invite you to remember what a healthy relationship should look like.

1. You complement each other

Think of a sports team. All members work together and achieve fantastic results by combining their skills and experience. This kind of synergy is the hallmark of a true and happy relationship.

If one hates washing dishes, the other will happily do it for him. You always come to each other's aid. One complements the other. Your team wins the game.

2. You argue

No, not often. And not in a very harsh manner. But if you argue, it shows that each of you has a personal opinion and you are ready to defend it. This is good. If one of the two constantly agrees with the other in everything, it may show that he is hiding his true feelings and emotions.

Two people may feel that not arguing means peace and quiet, but nothing good will come of it in the long run.

3. You support each other in everything

There is no such thing as a part-time relationship. You are either in a relationship or you are not. In a healthy relationship, both partners will be fully committed to each other and the relationship. This means that you go through all of life's trials together and support each other through everything.

4. You stopped hiding your flaws

Nobody is perfect. But if we try so hard to convince someone that we are this notorious perfection, then we will never be able to feel truly comfortable with that person and we will never let them know our true essence.

In a healthy relationship, we are open to each other and are not afraid to show our partner the real us, we know that he loves us, despite all our shortcomings.

5. You talk about sex

To build a happy and healthy relationship, you must talk openly about everything, including sex.

If you have a truly loved person next to you, you will not be shy. The absence of shyness is a sign that you trust the person next to you.

6. Sometimes you may not speak at all.

Have you ever had a friend with whom you could sit in the same room and be silent without feeling any discomfort? Could think about something of your own and just enjoy the company of a friend?

In a relationship, this is very important: not to constantly talk to each other, but sometimes just silently enjoy the company of your loved one.

7. You feel like an individual when you are with your loved one.

It is very important to maintain your individuality, not to get lost in another person, not to adapt to him. Otherwise, one day you will feel that you have made too great a sacrifice, do not feel like a happy person and do not know what you really want.

8. You respect each other's privacy

Yes, you are a couple, and the statement “everything mine is yours, everything yours is mine” is, of course, wonderful, but do not forget that each of you has the right to a personal life.

This means that you should not go through your partner’s personal things, read their text messages, or otherwise invade their privacy. Remember that such actions are a betrayal of trust, and happy couples do not play by such rules.

9. You trust each other

Trust is very important. Without trust, there is no point in talking about any relationship at all. If you do not trust your partner, you are constantly nervous and suspect him of cheating. You cannot feel calm when he goes somewhere alone or with friends, you are nervous even when he goes to work.

This feeling will eat away at you and your relationship until everything eventually goes to hell.

10. You have no taboo topics

Any couple will always have questions and topics that they find unpleasant, difficult, or simply don’t want to discuss with each other. If such topics are hushed up and their discussion is constantly postponed indefinitely, then, in the end, this will lead to misunderstandings, resentments, and other negative consequences.

Discuss with your partner everything that needs to be discussed. The main thing is to conduct the conversation calmly and respect the feelings and opinions of your loved one.

11. You accept each other's past

Each of us has a past. Accepting the fact that in the past your other half had a close and loved person and that person was not you is, of course, painful, but necessary.

Don't be afraid to talk about the past. You can't take words out of a song, and if you flatly refuse to even hear about the fact that someone had someone before you, then you are simply cutting off a significant part of their life.

In healthy relationships, as we have already said above, there are no taboo topics, no senseless jealousy, especially towards things that are in the past.

12. You support each other in all endeavors

When you truly love a person, you care about them and want them to succeed and fulfill themselves. You support them in everything, you believe in them.

You stand next to a person, not in his path, as he moves toward his goal.

13. You both continue to work on the relationship even after you have won each other over.

In any relationship there is, figuratively speaking, a peak, and it doesn’t matter how long you climbed it — you can fall at any moment. To stay on this peak, both partners must constantly work on the relationship, develop it.

If, having achieved your goal, you calmed down and decided that the person is already yours and will not go anywhere, then your union is doomed.

14. You are always honest with each other.

Honesty is the key to any relationship, especially love. If you lie to each other, even in small things, then your union is a house of cards that can collapse at any moment.

Be honest with your loved one and be sure that he is honest with you too.

15. Your loved one doesn't try to change you.

This is a clear sign of a healthy relationship. The other person should not try to change you, but by their example they can inspire you to learn something or reconsider some aspects of your behavior, attitude to life.

But you must want to change yourself, and in no case under pressure from another.
