Toxic relationships are the headlines of many articles, videos on social networks, conversations with friends and dilemmas on everyone's mind. While the signs of a toxic relationship are clear, healthy relationships seem to be a little overshadowed, so let's talk about them by mentioning some of the signs and actions that indicate you're experiencing one.
You have faith in your partner
The ability to trust your partner and vice versa is the most important thing that makes a relationship healthy. By not keeping secrets that damage the relationship, you build trust in the other person and this protects the relationship from the hurt you may encounter over time. Trust means progress with sure steps and a more stable relationship between you.
Clear and courteous communication
Communication is not only related to the ability to speak, but to be understood. A healthy relationship coincides with communication based on courtesy and respect, effectively clarifying your feelings and asking precisely and effectively what you want from the other person.
To take responsibility for your actions
Being responsible for what you do means thinking about the common good, aiming to improve the relationship and solve problems. This is the complete opposite of attacking the partner, the desire to win arguments, or the tendency to manipulate situations. In such cases, you can achieve the goal, but not build a healthy and stable relationship.
Common interest to meet each other's needs
If you want your relationship to work, you have to consider the other person's needs as well. The other person's feelings, wishes and needs are very important and you should always consider them.
To forgive and improve
Forgiveness is another aspect of a healthy relationship. What you should do after you forgive, stop remembering the mistake and improve your relationship.
