Signs of a Good Relationship

Well this has been a bit of a negative week. Tuesday we talked about cheating, yesterday more cheating. How about some positive words? Here are 10 signs that you're in a good, healthy relationship.

These aren't the only signs, there are others, which we'll get to in time.

- Your communication is open and you're not hiding things from each other.
- Your communication is clear and understandable, rather than throwing out hints and hoping your partner catches the clue.
- There is equal power and responsibility between you and your partner.
- Your expectations of each other are reality based.
- You apologize, sincerely and honestly.
- You avoid emotional manipulation, like giving the cold shoulder, keeping quiet for days at a time, or withholding sex.
- You maintain a sense of independence, individuality, rather can becoming co-dependent on your partner.
- You both keep your tempers in check, particularly during an argument.
- You realize there are other choices you could have made in a partner, but every day, you choose each other again.
- You accept that "stuff happens", and that there are disappointments, troubles, struggles and pain. It's life.
