This concept of healthy relationships is clear, quick, and easily understood. Though the relationship concepts are simple they say so much.
Here You Go:
1. I can be me.
2. You can be you
3. We can be us.
4. I can grow.
5. You can grow.
6. We can grow together.

Very concise and very true.

I think that is very true in any relationship. I like how it’s simplified down to 25 words. We all try to over analyze everything. But when it gets simplified you can see the real meaning behind things and not just the “fluff” that comes with a relationship.
Sometimes the best concepts are the easiest to follow. It took me and my wife years to come to the point where we could allow each other to be just ourselves. I wish we had known this sooner. It may have smoothed out some of the bumps in our early years of marriage.

A healthy relationship is a gift that both parties should work-out. The words listed above says a lot and the strongest is the last phrase – we can grow together.

NOW … That is short and sweet… AND also now printed on a 3X5 card and taped to my monitor… Where it will remain for a few weeks until it is permanent!
Thanks

well written, it’s true..and based on @Marcy comment “both parties should work-out”.
Nice-healthy relationships are ones that require input on the part of all parties involved. It’s like a team – the team can’t function at its best if some players aren’t participating.
