Healthy Relationships

Relationships can range from healthy to unhealthy to abusive. Check out the Relationship Spectrum from loveisrespect.org to see the differences.

Signs of a Healthy Relationship

• Healthy communication

• Mutual respect

• Healthy boundaries

• Going out with your friends without your partner

In a healthy relationship, both partners can openly talk and agree on what kind of activity they want to engage in, such as a kissing, touching, and intercourse. Each partner should respect the other’s boundaries.
