8 Signs of a Healthy Relationship You Should Always Look For

I think we all want to find that one person we can be with and be in a completely healthy and happy relationship. After all, we’ve all been through enough of the bad ones to know a good one from one that’s heading down the dumps. Or do we? There are a few signs of a healthy relationship to help us stay on track, that you just can’t ignore.

Truthfully, some couples look like they’re in a happy relationship, and it can be a total disaster on the inside. However, other couples radiate true happiness. It’s pretty obvious they have a healthy relationship.

In its simplest form, a healthy relationship is one where both partners feel secure, loved and happy. They communicate and trust each other completely, and wish only the best for each other. They don’t need to fake it, they don’t need to prove their love to others, nor do they have to post pictures on social media just to let others know they’re in “true love”.

# You feel happy

This may be a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people think they’re in a healthy relationship and are just unhappy, but blame everything else.

If you’re in a healthy relationship, you are simply happier. You don’t worry as much, you don’t have as many negative thoughts, and you’re genuinely in a good mood most of the time.

# You can be apart with confidence

Most couples in UNhealthy relationships can’t be apart without having reservations or without getting angry or upset about it. If your relationship is healthy, you have no problem being apart and making it work.

# You argue

Yes, arguing is HEALTHY! You have to argue in order to get your opinion across. If your relationship is healthy and you’re arguing about important things, it means you’re comfortable enough to voice your opinions even if they differ. But there’ a thin line between arguing constructively and arguing just because you’re annoyed and upset with each other.

# You feel safe and secure with them

Safety and security are very important in a relationship. If you don’t feel safe with the person you’re with, then you’re always a little anxious. If you feel safe and secure with your significant other, then it’s a healthy relationship.

# You never have anxiety when they go out with their friends

This is a big problem for many couples unaware they’re in an unhealthy relationship. If your partner can’t go out without you being super anxious and worrying, you’re in an unhealthy relationship.

You should always be able to let your significant other go out and spend time with friends without having to think twice about it. If you do this, no problem, your relationship is healthy.


# You never doubt that they’re telling the truth

You just automatically take them at their word. That’s called trust. It is vital for a healthy relationship. If you don’t have this in your relationship, it’s nearly impossible for it to be healthy.

# You feel at home with their family

Unless they’re not in contact with their family or their family is just very strict and seem to not like you, you should be able to feel at home and comfortable around their family. If you can do this, then you have a healthy relationship.

# You barely complain about them to your friends

Because there really isn’t anything to complain about. If your friends even noticed how little you complain about this person compared to those you’ve dated before, it’s a sign of a healthy relationship.
