What About Green Flags in Relationships?

While we know there are so often *red flags* and problematic behaviors in relationships, many of which can lead to divorce, we’d like to share some focus on the GREEN flags!

Seeing the glass as half-full, what are those great things to recognize in your relationship?

What can you make sure to see happening more (or to encourage happening) in case you are doubting your significant other?

Are there things from the list of 15 green flags in the article that remind you to have a conversation with your partner, or things that they can improve on? A wonderful article from Choosing Therapy lays out 15 green flags in relationships:

Effective Communication
Being Mentally/Emotionally Healthy
Self Confidence
Maintaining Individual Identities
Self-Awareness
Showing Empathy
Greater Sense of Purpose
Reducing Stress
Having Equality in Relationships
Respect
Fighting Fair
Anger Control
Embracing Differences
Sharing Common Interests
Having Fun & Being Playful

What do you think of this list? We think it’s great! We think it’s a good one to share to help give you some clarity (or new direction) in how your perceive your relationship, or how you communicate your needs with your partner. Alternatively, this can remind you of what you’re looking for in your next relationship! Either way, it’s a good thing to keep these green flags in mind as we assess our relationships.
