However, toxic relationships can really do a number on our happiness and outlook on life. As a result, it is important to look for individuals who possess qualities that allow for healthy relationships. Although, once again, not an exhaustive list, the qualities listed below are those that should be at the very heart of a healthy relationship. And, just as you would expect your friend, family member or loved one to display these qualities, it is just as important to reciprocate.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>1. Loyalty: Whether it\u2019s in friendships or in family, loyalty is truly important to maintain a healthy relationship. All of us are guilty, at one time or another, of making mistakes, having ups and downs, and even displaying some behavior that we may not always be proud of. When we find friends or loved ones who can forgive us and stand by us\u2026even during our worst moments\u2026we should be especially grateful. That said, loyalty should never be taken for granted and we should always be deeply appreciative when it comes our way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>2. Respect: Treating others with kindness and the respect they deserve is important in gaining the respect that WE desire. It never feels good to be taken for granted, judged or used and it doesn\u2019t feel good to be talked down to or treated rudely or inappropriately. There will be times that we may not always have full agreement with our friends or loved ones, but respecting them along the way is a must.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>3. Unconditionally There: There is nothing worse than having someone always resurface in your life when they are in need, are looking for something or need a favor. In a culture of \u201cyou scratch my back, and I\u2019ll scratch yours,\u201d it is somewhat rare to find those \u201cwho just scratch your back,\u201d period. Finding individuals who want you in their lives just because\u2026and not because they want something in return is refreshing and worth holding on to. Those who are generous of heart are to be treasured!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our relationships are vital to our mental well-being.
