RELATIONSHIPS ARE
A VERY TOUCHY
THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, WE
POSTED THE QUESTION,
“WHAT SHOULD A HEALTHY
RELATIONSHIP CONSIST OF?”
AND WE WANTED TO SEE WHAT
THE WORLD HAS TO SAY ABOUT
THEM!
“One in which both are equally willing to sacrifice
for one another; time, comfort, convenience, and
resources.”
-Paolo Vidal
“Emotional safety and security, LOVE, truth and transpar-
ency. Putting effort in understating each other and also
putting effort in appreciating each other’s imperfections.”
-Michael
“Creating a safe place of trust and honesty. Also making sure you
have a life outside of that relationship, with friends and loved ones
who can look out for you if they feel the relationship is no longer
healthy. I also think respect is huge. Respect for the other person,
for their family, friends, and for a future spouse that potentially
may not be you.”
-Emily
“If both have not only a mutual love and respect for each
other, but have Christ as a mutual priority, the relationship
will work. If not, say in the case that one or both have
selfish priorities, it won’t. Why? If both love God, they will
love each other unconditionally.”
-Paolo Vidal
“Connection, authenticity and vulnerability,
which I believe includes compassion and
empathy. I think these things are more
challenging to cultivate when we’re not as
kind, accepting, or compassionate toward
ourselves. In a healthy relationship, people
support each other in what brings each person
joy, and they feel joy in witnessing each other’s
joy.”
-Candace Maxymowich
