I think this info is really helpful for someone in seeking a good and healthy relationship. It was featured in Yahoo!7. I'm just quoting some points in that I think is important. So if you want to read more about what the author's say, click the link below.
Successful relationships are healthy relationships built on three principles: they are SAFE, RESPECTFUL and RESOLVED.
Successful, Long-Lasting Relationships are Safe
We need to feel safe -- physically and emotionally -- with others before we open up, share, work together, and trust each other. We need to know we won’t get knocked around physically, or emotionally through verbal or non-verbal abuse.
Successful, Long-Lasting Relationships are Respectful
Respect within a partnership starts with each person’s own self-respect. We cannot expect others to respect us if we don’t respect ourselves; we cannot respect others if we don’t feel a hefty dose of self-respect. All things start from within and spread outward.
Successful, Long-Lasting Relationships are Resolved
Unresolved conflicts are, in essence, the kiss of death for any relationship. In healthy relationships, both partners are committed to speaking the truth about their concerns and issues in a safe, respectful manner. Successful, long-lasting relationships foster an environment where conflicts and issues are surfaced and resolved safely and respectfully.
