HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

 

The following is in list form due to the fact: 

 

*There is limited space available.

 

*I didn’t know how else to do it and my male ego prevented me from asking for help.

 

In general, people enter into relationships for 3 reasons. (excluding those relationships that are financially motivated)

 

*A chemistry exists generating an interest to get to know the other person.

 

*They meet one another's  expectations.

 

*They like and accept each other for who and what they are not what they want them to become .

 

Some of the following key components are in a healthy relationship.  The list is by no means all inclusive.

 

* A sense of commitment to one another.

 *A shared regard for the importance of time together.

 *Each others expectations are in agreement.

 *Mutual respect for one another.

 *Mutual respect for each others individuality.

 *The ability to problem solve.

*Ability to forgive and ask for forgiveness.

 * Ability to “get over”

        a past event-not

        revisiting it again and again.

*Can express emotions

  appropriately.

*Realization that and on-going relationship is

        a lot of work; demands commitment; and keeping it a priority.

*Shared values.

*Effective communication 

       Think-Talk-Listen-Understand-Respond.

*Shared attitude about family and friends.

*An overall positive and realistic attitude about life.

*A healthy respect for each others differences.

*A healthy pattern of behaving when angry, hurt or frustrated.

*Doesn’t hold resentments or grudges.

*Capability of behaving appropriately when others are acting inappropriately.
