Healthy vs Unhealthy Relationships

This is a comparison of the aspects of healthy and unhealthy relationships:

Healthy:
-Trust and understanding between partners
-Both enjoy being with each other
-The two people can function normally apart
-The couple can argue without breaking up
-Respect
-The two people rely on each other

Unhealthy:
-The relationship is purely physical
-The two people in the relationship cannot function apart
-Lack of trust
-The couple is too afraid to argue or argues all the time
-Lack of respect

          As you can see, a healthy relationship will include trust, respect, and understanding whereas an unhealthy relationship will not.  It is important to have these things in a relationship, because without them, you and your partner cannot truly relate to each other in the intimate way you should.  Trust makes you capable to rely on your partner and "share the work".  However, if you end up relying too much on the other person, it becomes an unhealthy relationship because you cannot function without them.  It is also important that the relationship is not only physical, because that can end up leading to physical abuse.
