Assume I'm Thinking and acting in ways to make her happy.

Assume she's doing the same.

That's a good start.

I used to think that I knew the answer.

I'm not in a relationship, so apparently I was wrong.

i don't know if a healthy relationship for me is healthy for everyone, but here's what i feel is important:

- undeterred growth, both as individuals, and as part of the couple, while still maintaining the core components and commonalities of the initial attraction.

- validation and appreciation for your partner's contribution to the relationship and of their personal goals and achievements.

- no demands, expectations and/or assumptions, on either me or the relationship. the more freedom i am given, the closer to home i remain.

- treating each other with dignity, courtesy and mutual respect.

- acceptance, and loving without conditions and/or restraints.

- continuing and constantly flirting, both in sexual and non-sexual ways. i think all women want to feel attractive and sexy to their mates, above, and in addition to, being mothers, wives, etc.

- admitting, and showing, your need and vulnerability and the ability to be inter-dependent on one another without shame.

No definition is the right definition since every individuals are different in their way, expect different things and have different cultures values etc.

For me it is honesty, no nonsense double talk, romance, being direct and the willingness to do all you can for your love one.
