Relationships are an essential part of healthy living, you need to know before we begin that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship just as there is no perfect human being, it takes work, dedication and love to get to a point where you and your partner love and respect each other. 

There will be ups and downs in every relationship but putting the hard work in and communicating with your partner is the key to every relationship. So, without wasting any more time let’s get into the signs that you are in a healthy relationship. 

Signs That You Are In a Healthy Relationship

You Have Your Own Space

One of the signs that you are in a healthy relationship is that you have your own space whenever you need it, it is very essential when you are in a relationship that your partner gives you space when you need it because if you do not have your own space in a relationship and your partner keeps trying to know your every move then you are not in a healthy relationship. So a healthy relationship is when you have your own space, for example, you get some days off from your family to spend some time with your girlfriends or just to spend some alone time by yourself so that you do not feel closed in, in your relationship. 

You Can Speak Your Mind

If you are in a relationship and you can tell your partner how you feel about a particular situation and your partner always listens to you then you are in a healthy relationship, this is key in a relationship because you and your partner get to know each other’s opinion on a matter so that you can get the best out of it. 

You Have Arguments

In every relationship, there will come a time that you and your partner won’t agree on everything and that is a sign that you are in a healthy relationship. Most people believe that having arguments in a relationship is bad, I will say to a point it is but also you and your partner cannot agree on everything but if you do then it means someone is submitting to the other person and that is not a sign that you are in a healthy relationship. So once in a while, if you and your partner get to argue on something and you resolve the issue quickly then your relationship is a healthy one. 

You Make Joint Decisions

 If you and your partner always make a decision together then you are in a healthy relationship, this means that you guys consider each other’s feelings when it comes to decision making and that is a positive thing in a relationship, it speaks to the level of how much you feel and also respect each other. 

There Is Balance

 In your relationship, if you and your partner can do things equally and you can find ways to make your relationship work with all the hustle and bustle of life and work then your relationship is a very healthy one. If your partner treats you as his equal, that is if your partner sees you as his or her equal in decision making, sharing the bills then this are signs that you are in a healthy relationship.

There Is Trust

In every relationship there has to be trust, trust is the foundation of every relationship without it that relationship will not last. If in your relationship you do not have to worry about what your partner is doing or who your partner is with then it is a sign that you are in a healthy relationship. 

You Forgive Each Other

 In your relationship, if you and your partner can forgive yourselves when you offend each other then it is a sign that you are in a healthy relationship. It means that both of you can move past whatever it is that you have done to one another so that you can move forward in your relationship and be the best versions that you can be for each other. 

Communication

 This tip on signs that you are in a healthy relationship should be number one because I always say that communication in a relationship is very important because without it that relationship can never work. You need to always tell your partner what you are feeling at any given moment, your partner cannot read your mind so you have tell him/her whatever it is that is bothering you. 

Fun with Each Other

One of the signs that you are in a healthy relationship is that you have fun together, no matter what you are doing or where you are together, you always have fun with each other. 

You Say the Magic Words Often

 The last tip on signs that you are in a healthy relationship is you saying the magic words to your partner as often as possible, let your partner know how much he/she means to you. If your partner knows how you feel towards them makes a huge difference in your relationship. 

That is how all the tips on signs that you are in a healthy relationship, remember relationships takes time, work and patience.
