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 />
