These days, it's not easy to make a relationship work out very smoothly. You are always going to come across bumps and trials in the middle of your relationship. But this does not mean that you should just focus yourself on the bad things that can ruin your relationship. One of the best ways that you can keep your relationship alive and going strong is through acknowledging the positive things that make it work. So how do you know that you are currently having a worry-free and smooth sailing healthy relationship? Here are some telling signs that you might want to look out for:

1. There exists passion and safety in each other's arms.- This is something that both of you would just feel without really the need for words. Both or either of you just show how much devoted you are with each other for no reason at all. There are also no insecurities involved within the relationship. Some people might think that passion and the feeling of security would help spurn off a very healthy relationship, but it is actually the other way around.

2. There is mutual trust and respect. - Most couples associate bickering and fighting with innate differences. But if you really consider everything that happens in your relationship, there should be compromise and this often happens when respect is there. There will never be a perfect relationship where you and your partner both enjoy all the same things with the same people. This is where your relationship can actually be tested, in just how much and how far you can take when it comes to accepting those sides of your partner which you may not initially like. But if you go through those differences without so much as a frown upon each other, you can say that indeed you have a very healthy relationship together.

3. You don't strive to change or better yet, change your partner. - This of course is another very strong indicator of acceptance. If you really love your partner, you would not push them to change their habits and stop doing the things they enjoy if they really do not want to. You are also comfortable to be yourself without feeling like you need to please someone--often times, your partner. This creates a strong sense of individual security and eventually fuels your self confidence and self respect.

4. You are straightforward with each other. - There's a fine line that differentiates comfortable with feeling comfortable when you are in a relationship. The best relationships are those wherein the couples are free to speak their minds and say how they really feel especially towards their partner. You are in a healthy relationship when you do not have to sugarcoat yourselves or find the right timing to say things because you are afraid to be taken wrongly.

5. Spending time together make you like each other more. - They say when couples tend to grow longer in their relationship, they also start to waiver in the excitement they feel for each other. But in a healthy relationship, being with each other simply fuels you to love each other more and grow excited to know the other person much better.
