Healthy versus unhealthy relationships

Throughout life, people experience all kinds of relationships. While healthy relationships have the potential to improve feelings of self-worth, enjoyment, and personal growth, unhealthy relationships may leave people feeling disrespected, controlled, and in some circumstances, unsafe. Keep in mind that in all kinds of partnerships, there is likely to be some disagreement, need for compromise, and times of frustration. These alone don?t necessarily indicate that a relationship is unhealthy, and the ways that these situations are handled may be indicators of one that is healthy. There are some strategies that can be used to strengthen and enhance relationships, but for people who are looking to leave an unhealthy partnership, resources are available (more on that in a bit).
