What should a healthy relationship provide for the people in it?

[Eunice40]

[OlderAndWiser]

If they do not have a dependent personality, a healthy relationship should provide whatever you are wanting a relationship. For some people, that might be a travel partner. Others might want financial security. And some may want a partner with an insatiable sexual appetite.

People have different meds and desires. As long as you and your partner are matched for needs, desires, and ability to satisfy reach other's needs, there are no limits on what constitutes a healthy relationship.

[Jamie05rhs]

Thumbs down on the "financial security". That's called parasitism.

[OlderAndWiser]

I certainly don't want to be with someone who sees me as their financial security but if my partner and I both accept that, then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

[Jamie05rhs]

Okay

[Gagname]

Great answer @Jac2424!

[MissDawn7961]

the following should be provided for both the man and woman in the relationship ! love , compassion , caring , open communication , forgiveness , understanding and a few other things as well ! thanks

Never forget that you must also BRING assets to the relationship, and add work and effort to it, in order to be able to expect to get anything out of it (and this applies to both parties in the relationship).

A healthy relationship has a balance of give and take.

[ohshee]

Best friends honesty. Knowing the other person so well that you can talk argue as if you are chatting with no fine or emotion a real commitment that one night a week u explore and experience the meaning of love 1 night a week you have to give your SO a bubble bath,, I night a week you talk a walk together every 6 months u have to plan and build something together

[TJFreshman22]

They should both be happier, healthier, and far more content people to be with each other than they are with someone else, or on their own. Otherwise there's likely someone else out their who could be a better fit for making that happen if you're current partner is doing it for you (but hopefully they are!).

A healthy relationship should be one of joy complete trust and great empathy Decissions made jointly and secrets never kept from each other There must be joint intimacy and never humiliation of one of the couple to others

[Majesty101]

A healthy relationship should provide love, security, happiness, emotional stability, and balance. There are many more factors, but to me, those are the most important.

[PurSeduction]

Id say at your age (27), it shouldn't be a teenie childish relationship just for fun and th BS, if you want a famiiy of your own, and ofc man you can create it with and rely...

[Anti-Matter]

1. Support
2. Opportunity for growth
3. Love in more just the physical sense
4. Comfort
5. Respect
6. Mental Nourishment
7. Loyalty
8. Truth
9. Compromise
10. Affection

[jsincal]

Simple yet hard, full acceptance of one another, without forcing, guilting, shaming one another.


This is timeless.

[LovingLover]

Additional happiness. Meaning it shouldn't be my only source.
That can come from companionship and agreement on certain deals.

[Smirnoff23]

Happiness love peace of mind total relaxation... Not what I see in your picture

[Eunice40]

Hmmmmm

[Smirnoff23]

Hmmmm?

[Eunice40]

Action speak louder than voice

[Smirnoff23]

That is such a true saying

[Eunice40]

Yeah it is

[Smirnoff23]

I assume you have been hurt bad

[COMMODOREII]

Stability for one and never having to worry about the other person. You both are honest and open to each other and you learn from each other in all aspects of the relationship.

[OddBeMe]

Two way street. Get what you put into it. Some couples put everything into it, and they should get everything back. Some open marriages are more defined.

[Arjunaguy]

Happiness and wanting to spend every moment with the partner

[blutwolfe]

Stability and happiness overall, regardless of type of relationship

[Anonymous]

A relationship where both people are mutually respectful of each other. They don’t try to change the other person. Don’t try to control them.
Let them be the person they were before you but as a couple who care about each other.

[SirBearon]

Anything each partner NEEDS. Not wants! Everyone needs different things so there is not 1 specific answer.

[Anonymous]

relationship lt doesn't change in either way doesn't make me healthy nor rich nor luck not even help me change the vision of the world is just a need humans have because we are sociable creatures with one goal of procriating and nothing else. today we dont give a fuck about that at all.

[David92506]

I'm sad to say that most of the women I've known the number one healthy thing they wanted from me is money. I'm not sure what I got out of it.

[Thatsamazing]

Sex, which is more important to guys, and some emotional security, which is more important to girls.
