2. supportive
2.1. offer reassurance and encouragement to your partner. Also, let your partner know when you need their support. Healthy relationships are about building each other up, not putting each other down.
3. Speaking Up
3.1. In a healthy relationship, if something is bothering you, it’s best to talk about it instead of holding it in.
4. Respect
4.1. Your partner’s wishes and feelings have value. Let your significant other know you are making an effort to keep their ideas in mind. Mutual respect is essential in maintaining healthy relationships.
5. Give and take
5.1. You feel OK asking for what you want and you do it respectfully. You aren't aggressive. You don't try to get what you want by threatening or hurting the other person.
6. Listening well
6.1. You care about what the other person has to say. You avoid distractions and look straight at the other person (and not at your phone!). Even if you don't agree, you try to see the other person's side.
