What are criteria of healthy relationship with your spouse?

I think the first and foremost most important criteria of a healthy relationship with your spouse is that you take their needs into as much consideration as you take your own. The next thing that is of utmost importance in having a healthy relationship with your spouse is that you need to be able to freely communicate with one another. A relationship without communication is a relationship that is really lacking something. Finally, the last aspect of a healthy relationship that I learned from my mother and father is that you should never go to bed angry with one another. You should work out conflicts as soon as they arise so that you will be able to maintain good communication and a bright outlook.

A healthy relationship with my spouse huh? Well - we should be able to communicate openly, no baby highschool games of getting mad and stomping away or deaming the other one "mean" for opening their hearts *unless of course they're just down right rude when they do so*. Being in the same state of mind as far as finances, parenting, love making, etc. Just making sure that everything is, for the most part, agreed upon. Like, we make the rule of no purchases over $50 without consulting the other... and that's mostly just to find out what the other might need, rank their importances and check the bank account kind of thing. As far as parenting - make sure that we both know what we're going to discipline for and praise for, etc. We don't necessarily need to carry thru the same punishments so to speak, but we need to make sure that our daughter is being told the same basic thing by both of us. Love making might have made your eye brows raise. On our honeymoon, actually, we talked about the minimum times in a week we'd like this to happen... that way no one feels down or left out... and as long as you keep your spouse happy in that sense, you at least know he/she isn't longing for it elsewhere. Basically... I could go on forever with little examples, but I say it all boils down to communication As long as you have good communication, you can feel open and yourself around your spouse, everything else just falls into place. If you bicker and fight all day long, then eerything else is going to go wrong too - no one likes to be in a relationship like that of any kind.

Pay attention to your spouse's needs.
