What Healthy Love Actually Looks Like

Most of us learned about love from people who were themselves doing their best with what they had. Let me describe what healthy love actually looks like.

Safety

In healthy love, you can be honest. You can disagree without it becoming a crisis. You can be imperfect without it threatening the relationship.

Mutuality

Both people contribute. Healthy love is not 70/30. Mutuality is the core.

Space

Healthy love does not require you to disappear. You keep your interests and friendships.

Repair

All relationships have conflict. What distinguishes healthy ones is the capacity for repair. The ability to come back and move forward.
