Signs
of a Healthy Relationship
People
in a healthy relationship encourage each other to become all that they
are capable of becoming. Individual growth is vital for growth as
a couple. Although
each person desires the
other, each can survive without the other.
The two people are equal in the relationship. In a marriage the
husband and wife are equal but different. A confusing and often
contreversal concept, but true.
Each
person in the relationship has a truly separate identity; they each
give and receive without losing their separateness. They also
allow the other person to
have friends and to do things with their friends separate from them.
Each person
assumes responsibility for his or her own level of
happiness and refrains from blaming the other if he or she is unhappy.
Two way
communication is vital. The two people In the relationship are
able to have fun and play together; they enjoy doing things with each
other.
Both people
respect the other's right to say no to sexual activity.
People in healthy
relationships do not manipulate, exploit or use the
other. Each shows some flexibility in role behavior.
