Healthy Relationships

Your relationship is healthy when...


  • You trust your partner.
  • Your partner likes your friends, encourages you to spend time with them, and wants to include them in his/her life as well as yours.
  • You make important decisions together.
  • Your partner understands when you spend time away from him or her.
  • You don't have to lie to protect your partner's reputation or cover for her or his mistakes.
  • Your partner encourages you to enjoy different activities (like being on the softball team or participating in a book club) and helps you to reach your goals.
  • Your partner likes you for who you are, not for what you look like or who they want you to be.
  • You are not afraid to say what you think and why you think that way. You like to hear how your partner thinks and you don't always have to agree.
  • You have both a friendship and a physical attraction.
  • You don't have to be with your partner 24/7.
