YOU STILL SAY "PLEASE AND "THANK YOU": Sometimes it is the little things that reveal whether your relationship is healthy. Unhealthy couples often forget their manners,so ordinary requests start to sound like demands, while thoughtful gestures feel unnoticed.Saying "thanks" for something small-like when your partner remembers to buy your favourite cream-can go a long way towards showing you don't take him or her for granted. YOU KEEP THE PAST IN THE PAST: Have you had arguments snowball into an all-out grudge match that brings up every fight you've ever had. Don't worry-every couple has experienced this at one time or another. However by showing forgiveness, acceptance, and a willingness to work towards a brighter future, the past remains buried in the past!

If you feel empowered to work towards YOUR goals and tackle life's challenges together, then these are these are chances that you have found something good. Source:Awonuga Oyinlola Mary
