What is a healthy relationship?<br />
Achieving a <strong>Healthy</strong> Relationship<br />
There is no such thing as a perfect relationship. There will be times when partners are<br />
angry or defensive but none of this should lead to abuse. There are some key elements of<br />
a healthy relationship. Being aware of these elements will help an individual realize<br />
when a relationship is unhealthy.<br />
Key Elements of a <strong>Healthy</strong> Mature Relationship<br />
Respect<br />
Mutual respect means that both parties care for themselves as well as each other. This is<br />
evident through respecting each otherÕs decisions or choices and listening to explanations<br />
of why those decisions were made. Caring partners are aware of each otherÕs boundaries,<br />
need for personal space and vulnerabilities. They do not take each other or their<br />
relationship for granted. Neither person puts down or denigrates the other. If one person<br />
in the relationship changes as a result of what they have shared, the other person does not<br />
gloat thinking they have caused the change. People change because they want to. Causing<br />
change in a person (e.g., dress style, hair style, group of friends, sexual demands) through<br />
manipulation, coercion, and threats are not healthy. Both parties understand that you<br />
canÕt change one another. Things that need to be changed in a relationship come through<br />
effective communication and mutual agreement.<br />
