what would you rate as a healty relationship?

Answer 1

A healthy relationship is one where your partner is one of your top priorities and you make time for them in the same way you make time for work, friends, family if not more if you can.

You touch frequently and unreservedly and always show you're appreciation for the smallest thing they do- a thank you costs nothing.

You can talk about the most difficult of issues in a respectful, non-aggressive mature way. You take time to see their point of view and feel comfortable expressing you're point of view because you know you are strong enough a couple to survive most differences of opinion.

You enjoy you're time together and can really have a laugh even at sensitive issues like sex. You enjoy you're time together so much that you look forward to seeing them and don't feel like it's a chore or obligation.

You trust each other. A little insecurity is natural but it shouldn't be out of all proportion and you should be happy to reassure you each other when one of you feels like this, within reason obviously. Honesty also comes under the bracket of trust. You should be completely honest with your partner, even on things that might upset them. You also need to realise the difference between what's just your opinion and what's fact.

There are loads of other tips that I could give you but I realise I'm rambling. I'm not a little miss know-it-all I'm just going out with a therapist (for real) and I've read all his therapist textbooks :-) Kind of annoying cos sometimes I just want to explode but he's all 'lets talk about it'. However I hate to admit it but the textbooks are really onto something.

Answer 3

IMO, a healthy relationship is one where the people concerned make the effort to communicate with each other and respect each other's preferences.

For the record, I also see a relationship as healthy if we treat each other as equals and don't adhere to double standards but, really, who am I (or anyone else for that matter) to decree what is healthy? Indeed, what can be considered "healthy" is entirely relative and dependent on what our own values and/or needs are (and even then , it's perfectly feasible that the two won't necessarily match). A masochist, for example, might seek out an unequal relationship and, for them, that would be a perfectly healthy expression of their individual sexuality.

Answer 4

I think, as someone suggested, it is being the best of friends. That doesnt mean you both like the same music and cheese fries! It means you both hold an infinite amount of respect for each other and you don't need sex to feel fulfilled and happy. A healthy relationship is one where you trust your mate completely and where you can tell them anything. If you cant cry in front of people - you can cry in front of him or her. If you hate your body, youre totally comfortable showing it to them, etc. So many people think a healthy sex life is a healthy relationship. I think it has more to do with how linked up your souls are.....

Answer 5

A healthy relationship is one where there is communication, understanding and respect for each other. A relationship where both partners are constantly fighting or cheating is not healthy at all especially if there are kids involved, it wears on u physically, emotionally and mentally.

Hope this answers it for ya~

Answer 6

both of you being willing to compromise, grow and change as the relationship progresses. Having a mutual respect and trust in one another, being friends, and remembering why you are friends. Talking to each other instead of screaming at each other. Putting yourself in the other person's shoes if you are contemplating action that may cause hurt.

Answer 7

Where both parties feel that they are getting the very best out of the relationship at the same time.

Answer 8

That's difficult to say. I guess any relationship that isn't destructive to one or both of the people in it.

Answer 9

Love and Tolerance.
