Topic: Am I in a healthy relationship? (part1)

Sometimes it feels impossible to find someone who's right for you - and in return, who thinks you're right for him or her! So when it happens, you're usually so psyched that you don't even mind when all the little things (that used to bother you so much) happened.

It's totally normal to look at the world through rose-colored glasses in the early stages of a relationship. But for some people, those rose-colored glasses turn into blinders that keep them from seeing that a relationship isn't as healthy as it should be.

So... what makes a healthy relationship?
Well hopefully you and your significant other are treating each other fabulously! You're not so sure if that's the case? Take a step back from the great sensation of being swept off your feet (I'm not sure what's the description for guys :-p) and think about whether your relationship has these qualities:

1. Mutual respect
2. Trust
3. Honesty
4. Support
5. Fairness/Equality
6. Separate identities
7. Good communication


I'll elaborate more on each of the quality mentioned above in Part2... :-)
