People Share Top 15 Signs That Actually Scream You’re In a Healthy Relationship

Being in a healthy relationship is a truly fulfilling experience. It’s a bond characterized by mutual respect, trust, and open communication.

Conflict is seen as an opportunity for growth, and disagreements are resolved through constructive dialogue and compromise.

A top-liked comment said, “Saying thank you and sharing the hardships without blaming one another and working as a team to fix the downs in life while putting pettiness aside and finding ways to touch one another throughout the day to show affection, even non-sexually. Genuinely just being happy to be in the same room even when not talking to one another and/or doing your own thing.”

Foundational Blocks

Someone shared, “Being able to disagree on something and talk it out without it descending into a fight, reminding each other that it’s you and me vs. the problem, not you vs me vs the problem.”

Shared Chores

This person mentioned, “Not arguing over who does what chore. My boyfriend and I just do things as they need to be done. He tends to do the dishes more because he knows I don’t like them, but I’ll still do them.  I tend to sweep more. But there isn’t a “well, you didn’t do your assigned chore, so I’m not doing mine” type of deal. We just do them.”

Togetherness

Finally, this user added, “Well, I know in my own relationship, we love every minute we get to spend together. Sometimes I sit next to my husband while he plays video games, and I prefer that over any “exciting adventure.”  We just want to be next to each other.  Also, we never argue. Even if we disagree, we just continue to talk until we come to an understanding or a middle ground.”
