Healthy Relationships
Love means something different to everyone, but there are certain behaviors that are signs of a healthy relationship.
A healthy relationship is a partnership of equals, where both partners have a say, both partners are valued and respected, and neither partner is ever afraid of the other.
Healthy relationships include:
- Honesty
- Respect
- Openness
- Trust
- Equality
- Compromise
- Sharing
- Support
- Caring
- Kind words
- Touching only with consent
- Two-way communication
- Working out conflicts with respectful words, NEVER with violence.
All relationships have conflict, but dealing with conflict should never result in abuse. No matter what your boyfriend or girlfriend says or does, violence in a relationship is NEVER justified.
