Every Healthy Relationship Needs These 3 Things

Is your relationship healthy? Here are three ways to check. Good relationships show these qualities.

Trust

Pretty basic, right? But how do you know if you can trust your partner? One sign something is wrong: you open their message app and find 2,464 messages from hotstuff1993, each one detailing what they planned to do your partner on their next visit.

Communication

Is everyday communication a struggle? It should be easy between you. Drop the ego and just talk. If your partners starts frank conversations with the phrase, “You always do this to me because your mother did it to your father and he left town to move to Italy because of it,” you might have a challenge ahead.

Connection

In line with communication, connection is just as important. This is the quality of feeling like you are the same wavelength, that you’ve shared ideas, views and goals. Problems start when your partner insists you drive to their workplace so you they can schedule you in for some “bonding” between their massage appointment and squash game.
