How do you define a healthy relationship?

As obvious as it may seem, nowadays, we need to define this. Basically it boils down to these key elements:

  • Trust. Having trust in your partner creates healthy boundaries. Privacy is respected and commitment is not questioned.
  • Equality. Partners have an equal say in the relationship. Decisions are made together and both parties have a voice.
  • Loyalty. Partners advocate on each other's behalf and look out for each other’s best interests.
  • Communication. All parties can talk about the good and the bad. Communication is open, honest, and judgment-free.
  • Respect. Each person in the relationship respects each other, feels valued, and is mutually supported.
