Being in a healthy relationship is good for your emotional well-being and your physical health. Research shows that people in happy relationships are at a lower risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases.  But nowadays, it’s hard to find the relationship of your dreams. Even when you think you’re in a good relationship, the story changes after a few months. So, how do you know whether you’ve found your Mr. Right or Mrs. Right? Here are some signs of a healthy relationship.

  1. You Have Your Personal Space

It’s important to maintain your individuality in a relationship. Unfortunately, many people believe that spending every minute with your partner is a sign of love. This couldn’t be further from the truth. When you’re in a healthy relationship, you won’t feel suffocated or like your partner is invading your private life. Knowing that you can do things on your own without worrying that your partner will get jealous or feel insecure makes a big difference in a relationship.

  1. You Share Similar Goals And Values

You need to be on the same page as your partner especially if you want a long-term relationship. They should know what you want in life and vice versa then commit to achieving them with you. This shows that they’re genuinely interested in you and want a long-term relationship as well. Additionally, knowing where your partner stands on some issues such as marriage, career and children helps you avoid disagreements in the future.

  1. You Are Intimate

Intimacy isn’t just sex. In fact, you can be intimate with your partner without having sex. Holding hands, cuddling, and even cooking together are all types of intimacy. Doing these things increases the bond and familiarity between couples. Therefore, when you’re in a healthy relationship, you should feel connected to your partner on an intimate level. 10 Ways To Show Affection Without Physical Touch

  1. You Know Each Other’s Love Language

When your partner discovers your love language, it’s not only a turn-on but also it’s a good sign that they’re genuinely interested in you. Learning someone’s love language isn’t so straightforward. You need to observe what they like doing, how they relate with other people and other subtle clues. Only someone who’s in it for the long run will take their time to find out how you want to be loved. A Guide To Learning Your Partner’s Love Language

  1. You Trust Each Other

Trust is one of the most important things you need for a relationship. However, it’s not always easy to establish trust in a relationship due to past experiences and our instincts. In a healthy relationship, this should come easily. When you trust your partner, you can let your guard down without worrying that they will do something to hurt you. You also feel more satisfied in the relationship. 7 Ways To Build Trust In A Relationship

  1. You’re Able To Resolve Conflicts

No one is perfect which means relationships aren’t perfect either. You will disagree with your partner but you should be able to find a solution together. Resolving conflicts in healthy and mature ways shows that you respect each other and value the relationship. Additionally, making amends after an argument can increase intimacy between couples. Relationships: 7 Tips For Managing Relationship Conflicts

  1. You Don’t Project Your Insecurities

Insecurities will make you have your guard up and become defensive about everything which strains the relationship. People in healthy relationships work on their insecurities instead of projecting them onto their partners. They leave the past in the past and work on healing from past traumas. They work on their toxic behaviours such as attacking or gaslighting to be a better partner.
