Exclusive summary about healthy relationships by Benjamin Robert Ehinger

What are relationships about? Do you know that relationships are interviews, games, serious moments, fleeting moments, angry arguments, loving touches, caring gestures, and so many other things wrapped all into one? Relationships are the true measure of success in our lives. Here are the top characteristics of healthy relationships so that you can find out if you are in a good relationship or not.

1. Communication – This is by far the number one characteristic of a healthy relationship. Without communication the relationship is merely pretend. There is no point to a relationship or the words you say in a relationship if you cannot back them up with actions that go right along with them. You can say, “I love you“, but if you do not show the actions of loving that person, then they are just hallow words.

2. Commitment – Sure we want to pretend like we are committed to a relationship, but when we have a divorce rate that is nearly one in two marriages and we have more people living together before marriage or instead of marriage it is hard to say that commitment is there. Commitment is being there no matter what.

3. Trust – Trust has to come before love because without trust there cannot possibly be love. Trust is an action of love. When you love someone you are willing to trust them with small things and little things. Relationships have to be built on trust for love to ever be a part of it.

4. Love – It has to come after communication, commitment, and trust, though because you have to have a solid, trusting foundation that is full of good communication and a strong commitment for love to really be a part of the relationship.

10 Signs of a Healthy Relationship

Exclusive summary about healthy relationships by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

Following are ten signs of a healthy relationship.

KINDNESS

Being kind rather than controlling with each other is essential for a healthy relationship.

SPONTANEOUS WARMTH AND AFFECTION

Do you enjoy sharing affection? Warmth and affection are vital for a healthy relationship.

Laughter and fun play a huge role in a healthy relationship.

ENJOYING TIME TOGETHER AND TIME APART

Are you both each other’s favorite person to spend time with? Some couples spend a lot of time together because they really enjoy it, while others spend a lot of time together out of fear of being alone. Dependency is not healthy in a relationship, particularly emotional dependency.

A METHOD FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION

All relationships have some conflict. If fighting is part of how you deal with conflict, do you fight fair, or are you hurtful when you fight?

In healthy relationships, both partners are able to quickly move on, back into kindness and affection.

TRUST IN YOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER

This level of trust is essential for a healthy relationship.

LISTENING, UNDERSTANDING, ACCEPTING AND LEARNING

While some people may naturally be open, kind, affectionate, accepting, and emotionally responsible for themselves, most people need to heal the fears and false beliefs they learned in their families.
