Signs Of A Healthy Relationship

You Both Have Mutual Respect

It might not seem like the most glitzy of emotions, but at the end of the day, respect is the workhorse of healthy love. Beyond attraction and romance – dates, a healthy sex life, and simply enjoying each other’s company – partners in a healthy relationship fundamentally appreciate the other’s values and choices. Not only that, but partners in love think highly of each other, despite each other’s flaws. After the honeymoon period has worn off and each other’s flaws start to sink in, puppy love breaks down, but true love is just getting started. When you both have mutual respect, you will find your partner listens to you when you are making a difficult decision or trying to work through a mistake, and tries to empathize even when they don’t quite relate. Lovers who nitpick, criticize and patronize probably aren’t in it for the long haul.
