Healthy Relationships
 
What defines a healthy relationship?

Here are some ideas:

♦You can hang out with your friends

♦You can be yourself

♦You feel free to stay true to your own values

♦Your boundaries are respected

♦You have fun together

♦You take time to get to know each other

♦You don't feel like you're "walking on eggshells"


A relationship is unhealthy if your partner:

♦Makes fun of or insults your ideas, thoughts or beliefs

♦Criticizes you or calls you names

♦Tries to keep you from friends or activities you like

♦Threatens, scares or harms you in any way

♦Forces you to do something you don’t want

You can confide in the staff at the Pregnancy Care Center if you need some help determining whether you are in a healthy relationship- we care.


How is a committed relationship developed?


Sometimes we eagerly jump into physical intimacy before we really even know the person. As attraction grows between a man and a woman, it is healthy to allow a friendship to develop by exploring common and differing interests. As you get to know each other, you will learn more about near and distant goals. If the relationship continues to progress and marriage is on the horizon, consider seeking out premarital counseling.

Contact the PCC and we can direct you to some helpful resources.

The Bottom Line: Love does not equal sex. You can easily avoid heartbreak, STD’s, and unplanned pregnancies when you pick your dates wisely, determine limits before you get physical, and save sex for marriage.



“I’ve had sex already. It’s too late for me…”

There is always opportunity for new beginnings. It is never too late to set new goals for yourself.

Rise up and have the courage to:

♦Forgive yourself

♦Leave sexual relationships

♦Raise the standard of people you date

♦Exercise self control
