5 GREEN FLAGS in a relationship you look out for ✅

We've all heard of red flags in relatioships 🚩, but what about green flags? Green flags are positive signs that indicate you're in a healthy and supportive relationship

Here are some green flags my husband showed during our dating phase that cemented my belief that he was the one ✨

💚 Good communication

A healthy relationship involves open and honest communication. My husband and I are always able to talk about your feelings, thoughts, and concerns with each other, without the fear that the other party will be unreasonably triggered or judgemental. If s/he's is willing to listen and understand to your perspective, it's a great sign 👂🏼

💚 Shared values

It's important to have shared values and goals in a relationship. If you and your partner have similar beliefs, there is a common goal for both of you to work towards, and look forward to. For my husband and me, we love travelling and we're always ready to go on an impromptu trip 🌍 🌎 🌏 Consequently, our savings and spendings goals are aligned, as we share the same aspiration.

💚 Trust

Trust is essential for a healthy relationship. Throughout the years we've been together, my husband and I always trusted and respected each other's boundaries, opinions, and decisions. If you and your partner trust each other to be faithful, honest, and reliable, then you have a strong foundation to build on 👫

💚 Emotional support

A healthy relationship involves emotional support and validation. I love knowing that my husband will always be there, at the end of every day, whether to celebrate or comfort me 🫂 If you and your partner are able to comfort and support each other during difficult times, and celebrate each other's successes, then that's a positive sign 🎉

💚 Healthy conflict resolution

Conflict is inevitable in any relationship, but it's how you handle it that matters 🤜🤛 Although my husband and I have different conflict styles, we've managed to find a middle ground after some months. 💑 Now, fights are no longer as intense, as we know that we're fighting an issue, not fighting each other.

If you and your partner are able to resolve conflicts in a healthy and respectful way, you can be sure that s/he is committed to working through challenges together.

Relationships are unique, and what works for us as a couple may not work for you. However, if you can recognise these green flags in your relationship, then you're off to a great start 💖
