Healthy Relationships:
"Healthy
relationships are characterized by mutual respect, trust, honesty,
communication, and support between individuals. In a healthy relationship, both
partners feel valued and appreciated, and their needs and desires are taken
into consideration."
They are able to express their thoughts and feelings openly
and honestly without fear of judgment or retaliation. Conflict is managed in a
constructive manner, with both parties working towards a resolution that is
mutually beneficial. Additionally, boundaries are established and respected, and
each partner is able to maintain their individuality while still being a part
of the relationship. Healthy relationships are based on a foundation
of mutual trust, respect, and care for one another.
