keep the spark alive. Here are 13 things that indicate a healthy,
happy relationship. If the majority applies to you, keep him in your
life. If you aren't feeling the love, don't be afraid to make some
changes.
1. You're happy
First things first, if you are unhappy on a regular basis, get out of
there. Make sure your happiness begins within yourself. Those who rely
on their significant other for ALL of their happiness usually don't
make it very far.
2. You know each other's families
You don't have to go to every family event, but if you're familiar
with his siblings and parents and have met a few of them, you're good
to go. Secret relationships may be fun, but anything lasting means
you're joining the family.
3. You are yourself
You are not afraid to tell him secrets, let him know when you're in a
bad mood, or be a little goofy. You can be relaxed and comfortable
with the person you are.
4. You laugh
Maybe he's not one of the three stooges, but if you are enjoying
yourself and laughing a little bit each day, things are going well.
Men pride themselves on their humor, and if his isn't working for you,
you know what to do.
5. You don't have to talk all the time
Silence or pauses aren't uncomfortable when you are together, and you
don't feel awkward. Good relationships don't require constant
communication.
6. You communicate
On the flip side of number five, a healthy relationship is dependent
upon communication. Being open, honest, and talkative with each other
is the only way you will get to know each other more. Keep those lines
of communication open. The worst way to ruin a relationship is to
misunderstand or complicate things.
7. There is little to no drama
If your relationship feeds off the daily drama, someone is going to
crack and it will not last long. If you find yourself angry, confused,
depressed, or just fed up, it is definitely not a healthy relationship
to be in.
8. You have balance
If you are spending every waking minute with this guy, odds are you
have lost a lot of friends. If you are bringing your friends to every
date night, odds are you and this guy aren't serious. Find that
balance between having both of your own lives and being a part of each
other's.
9. There is spontaneity
If you have fallen into a tedious routine, face the red flag and
realize that any healthy relationship has an element of fun to it.
That doesn't mean every day is a carnival adventure, but don't let
things get predictably boring
10. You are learning
A good relationship causes you to think, to be challenged, and to
grow. If you are not learning or growing, then maybe he isn't the one.
In my best relationships, I have figured out more about the person I
am and the goals I want in my life.
11. You have the same goals
Aside from the happiness factor, this is perhaps the second biggest
factor in determining a relationship. If you both want the same
things, share the same ideals, and want the same results, you will
find success together. If you have no idea what his goals or desires
are, it's time to kick up the communication.
12. He makes the effort to talk with and be around you
Any one-sided relationship will never work. Both sides need to be
invested and interested in order for this healthy relationship to
flourish. If you are constantly reaching out first or waiting for a
text message all day, change something.
13. You feel safe
If you are continually questioning him or doubting your partner, seek
safety somewhere else. The healthiest relationships are ones where
both people feel safe, loved, and at home.
Maybe you haven't found your Prince Charming yet, or maybe you're
reconsidering if he really is charming at all. Don't over analyze
these thirteen signs. Every relationship is personal, so don't be so
fast to leave him if he isn't exactly perfect today. Find the best
parts of your partner and figure out if your relationship has a
flourishing future.
