Healthy Relationships

 



 

Healthy relationships are relationships that have a positive impact on your life. Healthy relationships usually consist of friends, family, and usually a spouse. This is your support group in life. Everyone’s relationship is unique, and people come together for many different reasons.  You should try to keep as many healthy relationships as possible. The number of healthy relationships you have doesn’t matter as long as you have them. Key to this is to know who your friends are and who need to be just associates. Also know if the relationship with this person is helpful or harmful to you. If you ask god to remove your enemies and you start losing people you thought were friends you need to reassess your relationship with those people. Healthy relationships are with people you trust, can be honest with, that you respect and they respect you, you have patience with each other, and you can count on them. Good relationships improve all aspects of your life, strengthening your health, your mind, and your connections with others. Relationships are an investment. The more you put in, the more you can get back. Learn the difference between an investment and a potentially bad relationship. A relationship that is unhealthy is one where, there is no respect, your feelings are constantly hurt, you do not make time for each other, you are scared of the person, the person is controlling, and violence is involved. If you are in an abusive relationship whether the relationship is physically or mentally harmful it is very unhealthy and in this situation the relationship needs to change or stop completely.
