Advice on how to have a healthy relationship

Connecting with someone romantically, emotionally, and physically can be really amazing. But there's a lot of work that goes into building a good relationship.

No relationship is perfect all the time. But in a healthy relationship, both people feel good about the relationship most of the time.
A great relationship takes more than attraction —
 it takes work, and both of you have to be willing to put in the effort.
Here are some tips for building a healthy relationship:
Love yourself. Being comfortable with who you are means you’ll be a happier partner.

Communicate.
 Talk to your partner about your feelings. Ask questions and listen to their answers. If you’re upset, say so — don’t make your partner try to figure out what’s up.

Be honest.
Be truthful with each other about what you do, think, and feel.
Honesty creates trust. Few things harm a relationship more than lies.  

Give each other some space. 
Couple’s time is great, but spending ALL your time together isn’t.
It’s healthy to have your own friends and interests outside of the relationship.

Agree to disagree. 
You’re not always going to see eye to eye, and that’s OK.
 The important thing is to respect each other’s opinions and ideas.

Forgive and ask for forgiveness.
Everybody makes mistakes. Be willing to apologize for yours,
and accept your partner’s apologies.

Support each other. 
When your partner does something great, tell them!
 Your partner should do the same for you.

Talk about sex…openly and honestly.
  Telling your partner what feels good and what you like and don’t like helps you have better sex. Never pressure your partner into doing something they don’t want to do.
