How do you define a mature healthy loving relationship?

Lily_1981: How do you define a mature healthy loving relationship?
We are all human beings who are subject to jealousy, anger, frustration, happiness, sadness, occasional evil thought.
Just wondering how do you define a “healthy mature relationship” between men and women. I have been taught in a healthy mature relationship, there should be no jealousy, no mind games, no testing, no threatens of breaking ups, no fights, no arguments. Just mutual respect and understanding.
What’s your definitely of mature healthy loving relationship?

mmm i dont fully agree with your defination, because my fiance and i experienced some of those through phases and we have both grown to be in a very healthy relationship…

i would say what defines a mature, healthy, loving relationship is: compromise, sacrifice, the ability to put each other before themself, unconditional love, ability to listen/ talk – balance, self control and above all respect

That relationship that you describe, is too good to be true. In every relationship both parties will think differently and only if there is ‘respect’ for the other person’s opinion, it can work out. Nothing is perfect: not dating, not marriage. We will always “disagree” on many things and that’s why they say “opposites attract”.
