SIGNS OF A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP




1.      A healthy relationship should help you to grow in Christ.  When you are in a healthy relationship your partner should help you to get closer to God even more.  An example of a healthy relationship is when your partner will call you on phone and pray with you.  It can also be a relationship where both you and your beloved will attend religious programs together. What is more romantic than studying the word of God with your partner and exhorting each other in the things of God through the word?  A good relationship will also encourage you when you are broken.

2.      In a healthy relationship, the partners work on their communication.  Relationship is key in every relationship.  The more you communicate with each other, the more you build intimacy and rapport especially if it happens to be a long distance.  Even if it’s not a long distance communication is what will help to solidify your relationship.  But the thing is communication becomes challenging when one partner is the one making all the effort to communicate.  Both partners should all involve in the communication process.  Also in communication you talk about everything and ask the right questions.

            

3.      In a healthy relationship, you see your partner as a blessing.  That your partner is a God sent angel in your life.  So esteem your partner above all and treasure him or her as the best person in your life.
4.      In a healthy relationship, you possess a strong desire to give to your mate.  Love is demonstrated in giving just like how God gave his only begotten son.  So If your partner is too stingy then advice yourself BUT it may also be that they don’t have so get to know your partner well before you form a wrong perception about them.  In a healthy relationship, it’s not only guys who are supposed to give gifts, the ladies too can also give.  What men can do, they can do it even better.  So what are the things that we can give?  Well you can give time, give attention, you can give gifts, give care and many more. 

5.      In a healthy relationship, there is a genuine love for forgiveness.  As a humans we are not perfect so mistakes are bound to happen.  But if it happens or in other words if you partner hurt you, even though you are hurt but forgiveness should flow easily.  Forgiveness should be a daily thing.  Understand that those closest to us are the ones who will hurt us the most.  Forgive as much as you are hurt because forgiveness is the only way for inner peace and joy.
6.      In a healthy relationship there is a passionate desire to see your mate succeed.  You support each other to succeed and grow together.  There is no room for envy.  In a healthy relationship, you find time to ask about your partner, his or her dreams and ambitions so you know how you can push them to achieve their goals.

7.      A healthy relationship honours the most important person in your life.  Who is the most important person in your life?  Is it your parent, siblings or a godfather?  Then your partner should respect and honour such people in your life.  You and your beloved should honour each other’s parent too.  There is even a blessing for honouring parent!

8.      Foundation of equality and mutual respect.  Yes marriage is a partnership; it’s a democratic institution – make decisions together, trust each other’s intelligence and flow together.

9.      There is an investment of quality time.  Find time out of your busy schedule and have fun together.  Life is too short.

10.  Strong sense of trust and commitment.  In a healthy relationship you trust each other soo much to the extent you are comfortable even if your partner is with the opposite sex.

11.  Be captivated by your mate.  Be proud to take her out and celebrate her.  Be ready to take her out and celebrate her.  Be proud to introduce her to your family and friends.

12.  Fight is permissible in a healthy relationship.  Sometimes we may argue, misunderstand each other, and be mad at each other; well it’s normal in a healthy relationship.  But do not let any misunderstanding last for 24 hours before you settle issues.  Immediately you realize that you are wrong, apologize quickly and settle your differences.
Enjoy you beautiful relationship.  Trust this will help spice your relationship and move it to another level.
