Healthy Relationships
Relationships are a huge part of our lives, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They can be positive or negative, and they help create a solid social support network that is crucial for our health.
Mutual respect
In healthy relationships, both parties hold each other in high regard. This can include admiring their qualities, character, and the values that they stand for. It also means respecting each other’s freedom and the right to make their own choices. It also means avoiding actions that make the other feel threatened, resentful, or unhappy.
Physical intimacy
Physical intimacy is about more than sex, but it is often an important part of many relationships. It can include kissing, hugging, cuddling, or just spending time together. It is important to communicate about how you both want to keep the spark alive and find ways to keep your physical connection fresh, whether that means setting aside one date night a week or just finding times to sit and hold hands when you can.
Commitment
When you commit to someone, you are telling them that you will be there for them, no matter what. This can mean staying together through thick or thin, moving in with each other, getting married, or having children. A good relationship will have both partners committed to being the best versions of themselves and supporting their significant other in achieving their goals, dreams, and ambitions. It will also be based on trust, which means that you can take them at their word and believe that they have your best interests in mind.
