Healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, and understanding. Communication is key - talk openly and honestly with your partner. It's important to take care of yourself and your partner.
What is a Healthy Relationship?
Interdependence: the mutual reliance between two or more people, groups, or things. Boundaries: rules and limits that help define relationships and outline expectations for behavior. Communication: the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior.
Concepts:
Studies show that couples who often talk about relationships are more likely to be satisfied with their relationship. When in a happy relationship, people tend to feel more secure in their daily lives. Having a strong support system from a partner can help people recover from trauma faster than those who don't have such support.
