The Components of a Healthy Relationship

The foundations of a healthy relationship include:

RESPECT

You value each other’s opinions and listen when the other speaks.

EQUALITY

You make decisions and share responsibilities that will affect both of you. Decisions are made together, not decided by one person.

ATTRACTION

You are attracted to your partner because you share similar goals, values, and beliefs about your relationship and others.

TRUST

You admit when you are wrong, communicate openly and honestly, and trust each other.

FAIRNESS

You never make the other person feel unsafe by making physical or verbal threats.

SAFETY

You work together, and are willing to compromise.
