Characteristics of a healthy relationship

[Jacob Morres]

what would be a healthy relationship between two people? Some characteristics i can come up with would be:

- stating your boundaries. respecting each others boundaries

- stating your feelings. validation of each others feelings. validation of your own feelings 

- apologizing and taking ownership of mistakes/wrongdoings

- being aware of your projections

- having good conscious intentions

- being emotionally conscious of how your actions impact the other person 

- being conscious of and voicing your needs

- An intention of love and respect  (i think this is the foundation)

 

any and all thoughts are welcome. what would you add? what do you find important?
