The Healthy Relationship ChecklistRelationship Checklist

When doubting the direction things are going in your relationship, a great place to start is a list of the signs that show you what’s already working well and what could use a little improvement. Take a look at the checklist, alone or with your partner, and you might be able to make some changes for the better even if you’re pretty happy and satisfied.

The healthy relationship checklist helps you visualize the most important aspects of couplehood, and it can open your eyes to destructive behaviors that you or your partner might need to change.

Communication

Do you feel like you can discuss any topic with your significant other, without being afraid of a negative reaction? Improving communication can take your relationship to the next level. Work on listening and on expressing your needs to your partner. He should do the same, because when there plenty of taboo subjects and communication feels like hard work, there’s a big problem.

Conflict Resolution

Being compatible in the way you solve an argument is very important. Conflict resolution is on the healthy relationship checklist, because the way you handle differences of opinion is a barometer for your entire relationship. Whether you talk things out or just take a break and come back with cooler heads, it’s important that neither of you feels frustrated or hurt after an argument.
