“Communication between band-mates is imperative. Communication is the key to any healthy relationship.

Same goes for anyone else in any band”.

“I don’t think guys inherently don’t want to clean. I think the roles are most definitely changing, but I think in a good relationship, it’s never been defined as ‘a lady does this and a guy does this.’ I think, in most working, healthy relationships, everybody does a little bit of everything.”

“A healthy friendship is one where you share your true feelings without fearing the end of the relationship. It’s also one where you sometimes have to let things that bug you slide. The tough moments will make you wiser about yourself and each other. They will also make you stronger and closer as friends.”

3 Signs of a Healthy Relationship3 signs for 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.”

I hope you have gained some insight that will help bring a boom to your relationship. Please share with someone, it might be of help. Also, kindly leave a comment below.

    Hi Joseph

    You have touched on a very important  subject as we all need  to work on improving our relationship with our friends,  lovers, siblings and work colleagues. It is not easy as some people have the habit of rubbing up you the wrong way. I enjoyed reading the article,  as it included some inciteful quotes as well as tips of how to have better relationships.

    Relationships take a lot of effort, it is all about working in unity and compromising. If we can get the best from other people and ourselves,  we can achieve anything. What do you see as the biggest hindrance to developing a healthy relationship?

    Thanks

      Thanks Antonio for your contribution. It is true that relationship takes time and effort on both sides to make it successful.

      The biggest hindrance to developing a healthy relationship is the absence of the 3 success factors mentioned in the article. When you expect only the best from the other person and not focusing on making yourself better. This is selfishness. Taking your partner or friend for granted. Expecting a perfect person in your partner when you are not perfect.

      Relationship is give and take. This is what I think.

      Thanks so much and Cheers.

    Your post was such a great read.  I have been in a relationship for over 18 years, and I found your post completely relevant.  The 3 things you have that make a healthy relationship are absolutely right.

    You have hit the nail on the head.  As time goes on relationships do change, but the main foundation is trust, communication and respect.  I won’t lie that sometimes it can be very difficult to be in a long term relationship, but at the same time anything good in life requires work.

    I wonder how many people right now are having a hard time in their relationship due to the current pandemic.  That is an awful lot of time together. HAHA.

    Great job and thanks for the insight.

      Thanks Coralie, congratulations on your journey so far in your relationship. That is really great.

      According to one of the quotes in the article, there is opportunity cost for everything worthwhile including healthy relationship. It requires work on both sides.

      The present pandemic has put so many relationships to test. We all need to keep working at it and let go if possible when it is not working or to seek professional help.

      Thanks and Cheers

    It is quite clear that there is no healthy relationship without a good means of communication, most broken homes are splited as a result of poor communication system. Some women can accommodate any other thing but what you don’t listing to them or talk to them often they will get mad at you, they always want to know what you do and how you do them, that alone will keep them happy.
    Trust and respect can not also be left out too.

      Hi Blessed. It is correct that communication is very important. It shows that the other person is important, relevant and valued. This gives emotional comfort.

      We can all keep working on our relationships and also create future healthy relationships if we focus on those 3 success factors. It creates successful business relationships, friendship, partnership, marriage, colleagues etc.

      Thanks.

    Hello there, thank you so much for this very awesome post on “three signs of a healthy relationship” I must say that indeed the above point you gave are really valid, especially trust, a relationship without trust is like someone on a ship that dosent have confidence in the captain so would rather jump into the sea and swim Lol, its quite funny but that’s how bad to lack trust in any relationship is. Thus the need for trust in any relationship cannot be overemphasized as i see it as the bedrock in which every other thing stands. Thanks for sharing.

      Hi Jomata. Thanks for your great contribution. It is true and 100% correct that trust is the bedrock of all relationship. We allow the Pilot to fly us for several miles above sea level because of the trust we have on the technology, the pilot and on God. We believe that all things will go well. It is such trust that we need in our interpersonal relationships also.

      I appreciate. Cheers.

      Thanks Lizzychris. Communication is very key. Assumptions and Gossips are very deadly to every relationship. Communication should be easy, free, open and respectful.
