Hey, hey, hey, loves. Welcome back to another episode of Love, our Talks, the podcast where we dive into all things juicy about love, relationships, dating and everything in between. I'm your host, k-love, and today we're exploring one of the most important questions when it comes to relationships. Okay, topic that comes through relationships is we want to know how to check the health of your relationship. You know, how do you know if you're in a healthy one? And we've all been there questioning whether what we're experiencing is normal or if it's just time to take a deeper look. But real love, the kind that lifts you up and helps you grow, comes with certain signs, and today we're breaking down those key indicators of a solid, healthy relationship. So go ahead, grab your wine, tea, coffee, smoothie, whatever makes you feel good. I got mine and I want you to sit back, relax and let's go ahead and get on into it. All right, so now let's get into it.
Speaker 1:How do you actually know if your relationship is healthy? You know it can be hard to tell, sometimes, right, you know, especially when we've normalized behaviors that don't serve us or we've seen unhealthy relationships play out around us all the time. You know growing up or what have you, but when you're in a healthy relationship, there are some clear signs that you just can't ignore, and that's what I'm here to break down for you. First, open and honest communication. You know I hear this all the time, but it's really the backbone of any solid relationship. When you and your partner can talk about anything and I mean anything without feeling like you have to walk on freaking eggshells. So that's a big indicator of emotional safety. You can express your thoughts, your feelings, even your fears, and know that your partners, you know they're going to listen and not judge you. Have you ever been in a relationship where you were scared to speak your mind? And, trust me, that's not the vibe we're going for here.
Speaker 1:So let's talk about mutual respect. Now. This is huge. Respect isn't just about being polite. It's about genuinely valuing your partner's thoughts, their feelings and boundaries. Okay, in a healthy relationship, you honor each other's differences and support each other's individuality. I can say You're not just trying to change your partner to fit into your idea of what they should be, and vice versa. Right, see that mutual respect creates a space for each of you to grow as individuals while still staying connected as people in a couple and as a couple together.
Speaker 1:Now, on another side of a healthy relationship is trust, and y'all know trust is everything when it comes to a relationship. If you're constantly second guessing whether your partner is being truthful or loyal, that's a red flag. But when trust is present, you can breathe easy, right, because you know your partner's got your back, whether you're in the same room or miles apart. And trust takes time to build right. It's something that you both need to actively maintain and without that trust, the relationship is always going to feel very shaky.
Speaker 1:So let's talk about another thing support. Are you both supporting each other's dreams and goals? See, a healthy relationship means that you're not just coasting through life together, but you're actively helping each other grow. You're your partner's biggest fan, period Cheerleader, biggest fan, cheering them on in whatever they want to achieve, Whether it's a promotion at work, going back to school or just starting a new hobby or a new job, or they want to shift gears and doing something that truly is their passion. You're there to uplift each other and that kind of support strengthens the bond. And of course, you know I get it. No relationship is without its challenges, but how you handle those challenges is what really matters.
Speaker 1:Healthy conflict resolution. That's key, that is very key, and I'm not just saying there won't be any arguments, but how you navigate them says like a lot about your relationship. Are you both able to talk through your differences without resorting to hurtful words or playing the blame game? I mean a healthy couple, you know, works through their disagreements with respect and a focus on finding a solution, not tearing each other down. That's don't be petty like that, like seriously. Just we're not doing that. Here's something that might get overlooked sometimes. You know enjoying your time together. I know it sounds simple, but if you genuinely enjoy your partner's company, whether you're out on a date night or you're just chilling at home, that's a strong sign. When you can laugh together, share little moments and feel at ease, you know you're in a good place. Right Now.
Speaker 1:I want you to think about your relationship for a minute. Do these signs show up for you? Are you feeling supported, heard and respected? If the answer is yes, then you're in something solid, and if not, that's okay. But just recognize what needs work. That is the first step to making things better. We're all learning as we go in this thing called love, and the most important thing is that you and your partner are willing to put forth the effort. All right.
Speaker 1:So, y'all, we're just scratching the surface on this topic, but that's all we've got for today. And just remember, healthy love isn't just about finding the right person, it's about being the right person for each other. You know, we're not. We're not done with this conversation by far. We're not. So, on this topic of just having a healthy relationship, no, we still got some more gems to drop.
Speaker 1:So next time we're diving deeper into the red flags that often get missed in relationships and how to spot them very early on. Because, let's be real, sometimes we're so caught up in love that we overlook the signs, the things that might not be as healthy as we think.
