welcome to lifestyle therapy channel, stay tuned.
No.1, You Have Your Own Space.
Just because you’re in love, doesn’t mean you have to spend every moment together.
Taking time to pursue your own interests and friendships, keeps your relationship fresh,
and gives you both the opportunity to grow as individuals, even while you’re growing
as a couple.
No two people have everything in common, but people in healthy relationships, have an overall
respect for each other's interests and hobbies.
Even when they participate in activities they're not interested in.
No.2, You hold each other up during tough times.
a strong sign of a healthy relationship, is how you support each other during these trying
times.
Don’t be afraid to cry together and experience pain and suffering.
Tragic events often take our breath away, and make us feel like the world around us
is caving in.
your partner will be kind to you, they will understand and be supportive of you, when
you’re going through tough times, and they will lend a helping hand in times of need.
An important caveat, is that it has to be two-sided and displayed equally.
But the fact that you’re still here means, you have a 100 percent success rate with overcoming
tough times.
No.3, common goals.
You and your partner are on the same page, in terms of your basic values and life goals.
You both know what you want out of life, what your common goals are, what you wish to accomplish
in life, and are firmly committed to achieving these together.
Even though new relationships don't need to focus on long-term goals, more serious relationships
can suffer, when both partners aren't on the same page.
When one partner wants children, marriage or to live in a particular location, and the
other doesn't, it can lead to resentments and unhappiness.

No.4, TRUST.
Believing your partner won’t do anything to hurt you, or ruin the relationship.
Examples are when your partner is comfortable, when you do things without them, has faith
that you won’t cheat on them, respects your privacy online, and doesn’t make you go
out of your way, or work hard to earn their trust.
A sign of a healthy relationship, is when trust has been well established, so your partner
doesn’t need to check up on you, or spend every moment with you.
You can be out with friends doing an activity, that you partner isn’t interested in, and
they are not worried about your infidelity to the relationship.
No.5, You Enjoy Time Apart.
It may sound weird, but if you and your partner feel good about spending time apart, your
relationship is probably in a great spot.
Too often, couples think they are supposed to spend all of their time together, and if
they don't, something is wrong.
Well, it's actually the opposite: Healthy, separate time makes for a happier coupling.
You should feel secure and happy and relaxed, when you and your partner are out separately.
If you do, you have a great thing going.
No.6, TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.
You and your partner are both responsible for your own actions and words.
You both avoid putting blame on each other, and own up to your actions when you do something
wrong.
Examples are when your partner genuinely apologizes for their mistakes, they avoid taking things
out on you, when they’re upset, and they try to make positive changes to better your
relationship.
No.7, You’re able to let go of the past.
People in healthy relationships, know that failure and mistakes are nothing but pathways
to attainment.
They don’t let past stumbles dictate their current relationship.
We can be hurtful creatures at times.
But as long as we use these moments to grow and learn, our relationships can become stronger.
No.8, Non threatening behavior.
You should always feel safe in your relationship.
You should never have to worry, that your partner is going to intentionally harm you.
Neither partner should try to maintain power, and control over the other.
No.9, You and your partner, honor each other’s family ties and friendships.
While it’s important to set aside time for family and friends, it’s also important
to maintain healthy boundaries, between you and your partner, as a unit apart from other
close relationships.
No.10, You Treat Each Other With Kindness.
Nothing is more important, than treating the person you love with care, consideration,
empathy, and appreciation.
If you find yourself showing more respect to people you hardly know, than you show your
partner, take a step back, and revisit your priorities.
No.11, You admire your partner for who he or she is as a person.
You like and respect who they are, and how they carry themselves through the world.
If you can’t respect the way a person lives their life, let alone admire them, it’s
hard to keep any relationship going.
No.12, You feel good about yourself.
Spending time with your partner, should make you feel better about yourself.
If you leave feeling worse, or dread spending time together, this is a sign that something
is not quite right.
There is no room for verbal abuse or comparison.
A healthy relationship is characterized by kind, uplifting words.
You should both feel so good after being around each other, that you want to be better and
do better.
Time spent together should be uplifting, not discouraging.
A benefit of being in a relationship can be increased self-esteem, or at least increased
self-esteem in certain domains, For example, if your partner sees you as smarter, more
talented, more attractive, etc, than how you see yourself, then over time you’ll probably
start to see yourself as more of those things.
We start to believe our partner’s view of us, that we really are a bit more attractive,
smarter, etc, than we previously thought.
No.13, YOU LIFT EACH OTHER UP.
When you are in a healthy relationship, a good sign is that your partner supports you,
and helps lift your mood when you are down.
They encourage you, remind you of your strengths, let you talk through your concerns and help
ease your fears.
In a healthy relationship, your partner reminds you that you can do anything, and they will
help you to do it.
No.14, Equality and Mutuality.
In a healthy relationship, you and your partner should view each other as equals.
One partner should not see themselves as, “better” or “higher” in the relationship.
It’s also important that there should not be any large power imbalances, and if there
are, these should be addressed head-on, and the couple should work to ameliorate these
power imbalances, within the context of the relationship.
both partners in a healthy relationship direct the relationship as equals.
Both of you should have say and input into the relationship and develop it together.
No one person should be making all the decisions.
Each partner has control in the relationship, but is not controlling.
No.15, You Talk About Everything.
Finally, the best and most important hallmark of a healthy relationship?
You can talk about anything and everything under the sun.
You and your partner, should be able to openly and honestly chatter about anything.
This is how trust is built, and how your connection stays strong.
If you can, and you do, this means you are in a wonderful coupling.
Healthy communication, helps partners solve disagreements in a respectful manner, but
it can also help prevent disagreements altogether, That's because healthy communication helps
convey your needs, wants, opinions and feelings to your partner in a calm, assertive and loving
way.
If the two of you, recognize yourselves in the signs on this list, it means that you
have a happy, healthy relationship, that will probably withstand the test of time.
