Signs of Successful Relationships

It is widely known that building a stable and healthy relationship with the partner can make a happy life. What is the healthy relationship? How do we know that whether we have a healthy relationship with our partner? A healthy relationship has its own signs. The following are some signs of healthy relationship.

Do you have comfortable and open communication? Those who are able to openly and honestly express their feelings with their partner are more likely to maintain a healthy relationship and deal with any incident in the relationship.

Can the two of you laugh and play together? Can you help each other to lighten up with humor? Partners who can make each other laugh tend to be good at de-escalating conflicts when they do arise. Humor plays a huge role in a healthy relationship.

Do you enjoy sharing affection? Partners who stay in physical contact in some way throughout the day have appeared to be the happiest ones. These moments don't need to necessarily lead to sexual intimacy but are rather easy ways to say, "I love you," without the words. Warmth and affection are vital for a healthy relationship.

Do both of you have Mutual and Separate Friends? It is important for a healthy relationship for each person to have friends and interests, so that they are not dependent on each other. This leads to more self satisfaction which translates to relationship satisfaction.

Are you each more interested in learning about yourselves and each other than you are in controlling each other? Is listening to each other with an open heart and a desire to understand more important than judging each other or defending yourselves? Do you each trust that the love is solid, even in very difficult times between you and your partner.
