Login a healthy relationship
Oh wow. Another good question Jordan.
I think a healthy relationship has several factors and I am not sure I can list all or think of them off-hand. Balance, is one thing I admire, and balance on the outside as well as within. That said, Balance, is one of those illusive traits that even when we understand what that means and can somehow achieve this in ourselves and our lives, it can easily teeter and get off-kilter again and again. It requires constant awareness and maintanence...
I think a Healthly relationship, for one thing, is a relationship "evenly yoked".
It isn't about what we want at that given time, because that can change. It isn't a relationship that is based solely on sex, or being on the "same page." Those things seem very important, and sometimes the priorities of age requirements, and income seem important too... like "spiritual" factors of beliefs or other things. But like it or not we all fall into patterns and sometimes we pick and attract the wrong people!
I think the communication, the ability, the depth, and the willingness is key. How well do you understand one another and how open and honestly do you share, give, and talk? Many things can change and yet the things like this, they are a glue that can make or break. The underlying things about a foundation are important in what you are basing things on. Is it forced? Is it difficult? Is it simply shared interests or feelings or great sex? Do you want the same things? 'And the dynamics of how this all enters in to play a part is also important factors in the nature of who you are and who they are.
We need someone in a relationship who is evenly seated in their life compared to us, a counterpart where you equally help and add to in a "positive" way. Healthy relationships are "mutual" and not one-way or lopsided. They enhance, support, and encourage us and our attributes, yet understand, accept the faults and reality of us and our lives, accepting responsibility, forgiving, amending, uplifting, and willing. Being real with someone and without manipulation and fear, or without self-seeking or thinking somone else is NEEDED to complete us as our self-esteem should not be based on them or what they can provide for us.It is more about accepting the other person as they are, just allowing, not trying to change them or things, acceptance, and the relationship and closeness growing, along with the personal growth and positive nature. (If it is self destructive, or effacing, then it is toxic. If it is built on illusion or lies, then it is really nothing.) Healthy takes two - and takes two relatively healthy individuals to make a healthy combo of a relationship.
