Some perfect ingredients for healthy relationship.

• Mutual Respect: Every individual is different from each other and this is very important to understand when you are in a relationship. You need to know that your girl friend or boy friend is interested in you because of what you are. So don't ever force the other to do what they are not comfortable doing. Respect in a relationship means that each person values who the other is and understands and would never challenge the other person's boundaries. Respect the difference between yourself and your partner. Don't expect him or her to agree with you on everything.
• Trust: Trust is just like a thread which binds two hearts but with a little stretch in the relation it breaks. In case your partner speaks to any of their opposite sex friend don't mistrust them. It's perfectly fine to get a little jealous sometimes, it's a natural emotion. But how you handle the feeling jealous is what matters. There's no way you can have a healthy relationship if you don't trust each other.
• Honesty: This one goes hand-in-hand with trust because it's tough to trust someone when one of you isn't being honest. Be truthful to yourself and your partner if you want true love. Many people are taught to lie to protect someone's feelings, either their own or those of their partner. Lies create disconnection between your relationships, even if your partner never finds out about it.
• Express Wants and Needs. While it is easy to assume that your partner knows your wants and needs, this is often not the case and can be the source of much stress in relationships. A healthier approach is to directly express our needs and wishes to our partner. Also realize that your partner will not be able to meet all your needs.
• Support: Do remember relationship is not only having fun in good times but it's very much regarding love and support that your partner deserves from you during tough times. In a healthy relationship, your significant other isthere with a shoulder to cry on when your partner is going through a difficult situation. Emotional support involves accepting your partner's differences and not insisting that he or she meet your needs.

• Equality: Relationship is all about give and take. Desires of both the partners should be well appreciated and agreed. Like do you take turns choosing which new movie to see? Things get bad really fast when a relationship turns into a power struggle, with one person fighting to get his or her way all the time.
• Maintain your Identities: In a healthy relationship, everyone needs to make compromises. But that doesn't mean you should feel like you're losing out on being yourself. You are in a new relationship that doesn't mean you leave all your old relationships (friends and families), you should not change your interest and hobbies for the sake of other. Maintaining your own identities is very important.
• Open communication: Speak honestly and openly so that the miscommunication is avoided in the first place. Having a healthy relationship means that you have your experience, and your partner has his or her experience, and you learn to love and share from those experiences. Never keep a feeling bottled up because of an unknown fear. Take some time to identify what you really want before talking to your partner. Work on being able to describe your request in clear, observable terms.

• Really Listen. Being a good listener requires the following: (a) don't interrupt, (b) focus on what your partner is saying rather than on formulating your own response, and (c) check out what you heard your partner say. By listening carefully and sharing your thoughts and feelings with another person, you show them that they are an important part of your life.

You know that you are in a healthy relationship with someone because you feel good about yourself when you are around that person. Unhealthy relationships can make you feel sad, angry, scared, or worried. You should feel safe around the other person and feel that you can trust him/her with your secrets. There is no point living in a relationship which is dead. Move ahead a make a healthy relationship as everyone deserves to be happy.
