Adult Relationships Have Conditions

It's Okay to Have Conditions

Having conditions in adult relationships may not sound very romantic but they’re essential nevertheless.

Conditions and basic expectations help relationships thrive if they’re healthy or end if they’re not working well enough for all parties involved.

Thriving relationships take an ongoing commitment to love, creativity and quality time together.

Healthier relationships have a set of basic expectations and conditions to operate at their best.

Conditions:

• Mutual respect
• Resolving conflict well
• Following through on commitments
• Taking responsibility
• Safety & security

We don't need to persevere in relationships if they're consistently toxic or lack reciprocity to sustain them.

The idea of creating "unconditional" adult relationships can be used to perpetuate unhealthy relationships.

Thriving relationships take on ongoing commitment to feed them with love, creativity and quality time.

Having conditional relationships means having boundaries and recognizing when it's time to walk away.

Conditional relationships recognize when there's something missing, doing due diligence to change them and letting the chips fall where they may.
