What is a healthy marriage? A healthy marriage is a safe, secure, loving relationship that is built on friendship, passion, and commitment. Healthy marriages are strong relationships that can handle life’s ups and downs. They are partnerships based on respect, trust, and a willingness to communicate and resolve differences. They also help each individual grow as a person.
Good marriages don’t just happen. It takes work to build a loving, safe, and secure marriage. It is exciting to know that tools are available to anyone who wants to have a healthy marriage! Researchers have learned that people can learn how to:
• Listen and be heard
