10 characteristics of a healthy relationship
...
1) You are each other's best friend, and you genuinely like being together.
2) Communication is easy, natural and free. You can feel that you can tell each other anything without fear of judgment or being put down.
3) You have numerous values and ideals in common and have both demonstrated the depth of your commitment to them.
4) You both - and it's important to emphasise both - think of marriage as a lifetime commitment, and you are firmly devoted to a permanent relationship.
5) When you experience conflict and disagreement, you're able to work it out instead of leaving it to simmer beneath the surface.
6) You love to laugh together. You're entertained by each other and share a sense of humor about the things in life.
7) You feel thoroughly known by your partner, and deeply cared for. You're able to be yourself and still know that you are loved, faults and all.
8) Your family and friends seem to be genuinely supportive of the two of you as a couple. You have confirmation of those who know you best and whom you trust the most.
9) You feel romantic about each other much of the time, but you feel comfortable and content with each other almost all the time.
10) You have a relationship that feels sane and safe and stable. You sense that there's a solid fit between both of you at many levels.
