Is your relationship well enough to make some healthy list out of it?

This is such an important question to ask at certain points of your life if you are in a relationship. Personally, I feel, until you can make a list of healthy notes out of your relationship you might be heading towards a future that is filled with uncertainties. Yes no relationship is perfect, and we must all experience uncertainties, but isn’t it safer to know the degrees of ups and downs to expect than being taken all by surprise. The devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know, the say. Again, I also feel having a checklist out of your relationship allows you prepare for the moments ahead of time. With your list in view, you can begin to dot your (I’s) and cross your (T’s), and know if this really a journey you want to embark on, work on, or disengage from.

That said, the goal of a checklist is to serve as a guidepost that can help you identify unhealthy patterns worth working on.

Here are some of the guidelines i recommend, to know if you are in a healthy place together or not.

Checklist for a healthy relationship:

You have a shared and acceptable idea of where you will go or be in the future

You support each other’s health and grow one another’s confidence

You enjoy and celebrate each other’s successes Relationship Checklist!

You are proud of each other anywhere you find yourselfs

You encourage and support each other’s independent goals

You hold each other to the same high standards

You feel physically and emotionally safe in each other’s presence

You understand your differences and respectfully disagree

You can be honest with each other without fear of reprimand.

You feel safe to voice your opinions or negotiate changes

You enjoy spending time together and respect each other’s need for space

You don’t feel less of yourself after having a conversation

You find inner worth and satisfaction, which i inner peace! And so on.

I hope you will follow this checklist to the least before making your relationship official. A lot of people see things mentioned in this checklist as determinant factor to their next the move; I hope you too can find it helpful before you seal that relationship with a marriage!
