A relationship is healthy when the two people that make it up trust each other, respect each other, love each other , and know that both have an independent life with which they have to empathize. To achieve this, it is essential that there is good communication between the two, trust, love and respect.
The limits of the relationship are established by each of the members , these being different in each case, since each couple and each person are different. But what is important in all of them is that whatever the limits are requested, if they are accepted, they are respected.
However, having a healthy relationship does not imply that there are disagreements, anger, disagreements or arguments. What is certain is that couples who are closer together have more tools to deal with problems that may arise, and this makes them grow both personally and as a couple.

That is, without underestimating their abilities, without discrediting them, etc. Letting everyone see the love they have.
2. They keep thanking each other

6. They think of their partner and put themselves in their place
A person who has a healthy relationship shows empathy for his partner, puts himself in his place and acts taking into account his feelings and emotions, that is, he has a behavior of respect towards his partner even when he does not share his thoughts, actions, etc. . Thinking, reaching an agreement and having their well-being at the same level as their own, seeing themselves as equals.

They share both the moments of enjoyment and the bad ones, supporting and helping each other in all situations, even the most difficult ones. For example, in times of economic hardship or illness, they stick together and respect each other in every decision.
12. Both do their part to move the relationship forward
Unlike what many think, a relationship is not that each person has 50% of himself, a healthy relationship is molded so that the sum of both is 100%, that is, if your partner has a bad streak and does not He can give 50% and he only gives 30%, you make an effort and give 70%. All this up to a certain limit and without a single person having to constantly give everything, if not, for as long as possible in a balanced way.
