Healthy Relationships

In order to maintain a healthy relationship, both partners have to be willing to work it out.
Some values I found important in a relationship are:
-Respect
-Love
-Trust
-Commitment  
-Communication-Understanding

Being in a relationship is not easy as people think. In other to love a person, there has to be respect within each other. If a person is not able to respect their significant other, therefor it is not considered love. When two people decide to commit to each other, they are trusting each other with their heart, happiness, and future. Communication is the key to a healthy relationship. Yet, by using  communication, people have to be able to understand what their partner is trying to express and accept their opinion.
