It is indeed true when we say love is blind, because when we are in love with somebody we only look for his positives and almost over look all their flaws. A healthy relationship is the one that contributes in your personal growth and happiness. Because of this it becomes very difficult for an individual to analyze our relationship and our partner objectively. So how can you know whether the relationship that you are in is perfect or not? What exactly makes a healthy relationship?

Friendship and Communication

Somebody had once told me that, a person should always marry someone they love to talk and are good friends with each other. Initially physical attraction may tent to fail. If the couple shares a very good friendship and loves to communicate with one another, they can keep the spark alive in their relationship. A strong friendship and good communication are the most important signs of a good relationship.

Trust and Respect

If you find your partner frequently criticizing you or unnecessarily domineering than it means that your partner does not respect or appreciates your affords. Apart from respecting, trusting each other also plays a very important role in a relationship.    Commitment and honesty are the two important pillars on which a healthy relationship stands.

Love and Intimacy

Being madly in love with one another and a feeling of belongingness is a must in every relationship. Understand if you and your partner both are looking for a long term plan with each other and are finding each other comfortable in expressing love for one another by the way you kiss or hug one another. If you are sharing the right sexual chemistry and meet each other’s physical needs very well, then you are having a healthy relationship.

Always Ready To Change, Give Up and Support Each Other

This is something that is very important for a couple, both the partners in a relationship should be willing to give a lot of love and support to one another. There should be a strong willing to change, adjust and compromise to meet their partners need. Admitting your mistakes, listening patiently, correcting others mistake and being open minded can help you form a healthy relationship.

Life beyond One Another

In a healthy relationship, partners also have a life of their own. Everybody have their own set of friends, works, interest, etc which are away from their partner’s subject of interest. In a relationship apart from our time there is always something that is known as “me time”. Where in you take out time for each other and allow your partner also to enjoy his time. So when you see yourself as an independent yet a loving individual, then you are in an healthy relationship.

Giving Space

Giving space is as important as trusting your partner. Someone has wisely said once “You must be the source of one’s happiness”. You do not need to glue yourself and your partner every time, being in an relationship you can still be good friends and relatives to your family and friends by giving each other enough time and space to live up to their other responsibilities and duties in life.

Loyalty

Partners’ being loyal to each other is an important signs of a healthy relationship. If you have any doubts or you are having any second thoughts about being in a relationship, then just get out of it as early as possible since you will only land up making things worse for the rest of your life. But if you are sure about your relationship and want to stick to your partner for the rest of your life, then my advice would be, be loyal and don’t let the world affect your relationship.
