Just wondering… how are you doing? No, really. How are you doing in your relationship?<br /><br />While I could go on for days on this topic, here are five key signs to look for in a healthy relationship:<br /><br />1) Common Courtesy - is politeness routine in your relationship or not so much? Is the trend getting better or worse?<br /><br />2) Empathy - if you had an especially hard day, does your partner lend a sympathetic ear or do they try to one-up you with how hard their day was?<br /><br />3) Balance - are your feelings on par with those of your partner? Or does the relationship mean much more to you?<br /><br />4) Compromise - is there a sense of give-and-take as relationship issues come up? One party does not always get their way but healthy compromise is in effect.<br /><br />5) Tenderness - do you both understand what a precious gift your relationship is? Think about what your relationship means to you and your life — then act accordingly.<br /><br /> Go on and give it a try; make it a personal development goal. You can cut your relationship problems off at the pass before they build. You can bounce back stronger from relationship issues.<br /><br />And please let me know your thoughts.<br /><br />"Just Say No to the Status Quo"<br />http://www.bouncingbacknow.com/
