For a relationship to be healthy, there has to be more than just shared interests and strong feelings for each other. It requires two people who truly understand and care for each other, while also caring for themselves. If you ever doubt that your relationship is healthy or not, try reading out these most appreciated characteristics of a healthy relationship:
You trust each other
Trust is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship. It is the most common trait of a relationship that people are looking for. If you have faith in your partner's decision, be open to acknowledging feelings.
Communication
Communication is about how you connect yourself to your partner. It is never about making them guess what your needs are. It's not about making small talk. It's about understanding your partner's perception, offering support, and for conflicts fighting rationally.
Mutual empathy
Empathy can differentiate between a healthy relationship and an unhealthy one. Empathy is a necessary trailblazer to intimacy, faith, and belonging. It requires practice and time. Empathy asks you to stay with your partner instead of fixing their problems.
Knowing how to forgive
We are all humans, we tend to make mistakes. The key quality of a healthy relationship is to forgive easily. It doesn't mean that you have to bear abuse or toxicity to make your relationship healthy. If it doesn't stop you definitely should make a serious decision.
Kindness and Love
Kindness is treating your partner in a respectful and, gentle way. It's not about yelling at your partner. Being harsh with each other only fades out all the love you had for your partner.
Physical compatibility
Physical compatibility is important in a relationship and people should talk about their physical needs and desires to their partner. However, some people find it uncomfortable to discuss their physical needs. To work on them effectively, first, you have to accept each other completely and share your sexual desires.
You appreciate each other
Most of the time, people don't really understand the importance of appreciating their partner. If you validate and appreciate what your partner tells you then you're going absolutely right. When you appreciate their little gestures, they feel fully heard, and loved.
