Same goes for anyone else in any band”.

3 Signs of a Healthy Relationship
- Trust. There is nothing as important as trust in everything that we do. If a person does not trust you there is no way that he or she is going to love you. Every relationship is based on trust. A husband and wife relationship is always based on trust, a mother children relationship has also got to have trust. You can gain a person’s trust by being honest to him or her. Great business relationship between merchant and client or customer is based on trust. It is trust that make customers to buy a particular product instead of the other product. According to the quote from Rachel Bloom; “I had a relationship where we found out each other’s Facebook passwords and would check each other’s messages. That’s not healthy”. Investigating each other shows lack of trust.
- Mutual Respect. It is very important to respect one another. Do not look down on your partner because this will make them to feel unappreciated. If you respect your partner then you will also be able to respect yourself. If you do not have respect there is no way that you will have a successful relationship with anybody. There are many things that one can avoid when they have respect for their relationship. Respect is an aspect that comes from deep within one self. Put yourself in the shoes of your friend or partner and evaluate your action. Is the action acceptable to you if you were to be at the receiving end of the action.
- Good Communication. There must be healthy and adequate communication among friends in a relationship, when there is lack of communication skills then there will be no understanding. When partners shout at one another, then that means that no one is listening to the other because there is no communication there. The focus of communication in a healthy relationship should be a free and easy conversation. Try to listen and to understand your partner’s ideas before expecting your partner to understand yours.
Do a self evaluation in your relationship to determine how healthy things are going. When you have these three simple things in your relationship then you can be assured that you will have a long and happy relationship. As we wish for a great and healthy relationship, it can be achieved easier if we focus on becoming the kind of person we wished to befriend.
I believe that the quote from Karen Salmansohn summarize it all; “The best relationship is one that does not foster too much independence nor too much dependence, but exists in the healthy interdependence zone.”
