My dear friend and former employee, Sehra, asked me [via facebook] what defines a healthy relationship. I started to make my usual glib response, but what came out wasn't what, even I, was expecting.
Sehra:
My rules have served me well through 7 very healthy marriages and hundreds of weekend relationships. You asked, so here you are...
- The measure of a relationship is that it makes both people better than they are alone, that means spiritually, mentally and physically (the triad of self).
- Together you create a new, positive force that is a source of pride, laughter and peace.
- You trust your partner to come home to you no matter what crazy naked person throws themselves at them. And they trust you the same way.
- You respect your partner because they are the kind of person you wish to be: honest, giving and strong. And they respect you the same way.
- Chemistry is a bond that ebbs and flows. You ride it like a roller coaster, but you mostly stand in line waiting for another chance to ride.
- You laugh more, share more, cry more with this person as a friend than any other person on the planet.
- You love and respect yourself, your partner expects this, and you expect it of them.
Your Friend,
Hugh
