There are some principal values and principles upon which many healthy relationships are based.
Trust is the most important skill to develop in any relationship. It involves being dependable, truthful, and trusting the other person.
Respect:
Recognition of opinions, boundaries of persons, and their version of individuality.
Communication:
- One of the important characteristics of people is how they communicate.
- Clear and reasonable communication is necessary for the parties to understand each other.
- Settle any disagreements.
Empathy:
- Sharing your partner’s feelings and understanding their emotions.
Support:
- Providing support to one another both in normal situations and difficult times.
Compromise:
- The act of actively seeking a middle ground and making joint decisions.
Independence:
- The ability of individuals to remain who they are.
- Develop themselves in the course of the marital relationship.
Forgiveness.
- People make mistakes.
- But there is always a point of contention on whether parties should give room for that and even hurt.
Loyalty:
- Standing up to the parties of the relationship and to the relationship itself.
Honesty:
- There is open communication within people.
- People do not beat about the bush with facts and details.
Equality:
- Laying unfair expectations on one another.
- Ensures fair play with responsibilities.
Kindness:
- Consideration and compassion towards the others’ psycho-emotional state.
Patience:
- Acceptance of the fact that forming a relationship between two parties is often a gradual process.

Common values and aspirations:

- There is a consensus about the way life should be lived.
The shared values in a relationship form a firm, safe, nurturing foundation. It must be understood that every couple’s relationship is different, and what values each partner considers the most important individually and when partnered should be voiced.
Do any of these values need to be explained further, or do you want to know how they are implemented?
