Relationships are the ways that two or more people interact and connect with each other. Healthy relationships are important for establishing self-identity and giving meaning to life. Key elements of healthy relationships include maturity, communication skills, acceptance, respect, and understanding. Unhealthy relationships exhibit signs like abuse, conditional love, or forcing unwanted sexual activities. To have a healthy relationship, partners should respect each other, support each other through tough times, be loyal and truthful, and work persistently on growing the relationship.
