Tools of a Healthy Relationship

The Healthy Relationship are based on the belief that both partners are equal. It means that when you are with your partner
  • you have fun
  • you feel like you can be yourself
  • you can have your own opinions and interests even if they differ from your partners

As a couple. You should,

  1. Always tell the truth. You shouldn't have to lie to protect your partner. Lies only create disconnect and distance.
  2. Follow through with commitments. If you say that you are going to do something, do it. If for some reason you can't, let your partner know why you can't ahead of time. Not only does this show that you respect your partner, but it also creates trust.
  3. Own your emotions. If you are having a bad day, let your partner know. If you snap at your partner, apologize for it.
  4. Learn from each other.
  5. Appreciate yourself and your partner.
  6. Make major decisions together. It is a partnership.
  7. Be willing to compromise. Know how to accept change.
  8. Share daily repsonsibilitie. Work as a team.
  9. Support each other's goals. Believe in each other.
  10. Communicate openly.

It all comes down to respect. You need to respect yourself as an individual and you need to respect your partner as an individual. You also need to respect who you both are as a couple.
