Just wondering… how are you doing? No, really. How are you doing in your relationship?
While I could go on for days on this topic, here are five key signs to look for in a healthy relationship:
1) Common Courtesy - is politeness routine in your relationship or not so much? Is the trend getting better or worse?
2) Empathy - if you had an especially hard day, does your partner lend a sympathetic ear or do they try to one-up you with how hard their day was?
3) Balance - are your feelings on par with those of your partner? Or does the relationship mean much more to you?
4) Compromise - is there a sense of give-and-take as relationship issues come up? One party does not always get their way but healthy compromise is in effect.
5) Tenderness - do you both understand what a precious gift your relationship is? Think about what your relationship means to you and your life — then act accordingly.
Go on and give it a try; make it a personal development goal. You can cut your relationship problems off at the pass before they build. You can bounce back stronger from relationship issues.
And please let me know your thoughts.
