A healthy relationship allows space for love and affection, respect and honor. Individuals feel free and safe to live life true to themselves, and both provide and receive space for independence.
Manipulation and coercion are nowhere in the picture and are replaced with healthy respect and admiration.
Each person makes their own decisions and allows the other to do the same, holds space for the others thoughts and feelings, and communicates with honesty, transparency, and openness.
Needs and wants are communicated, listened to, respected, and met.
A healthy relationship is two whole, complete, content individuals finding extra joy and fulfillment in one another.
