We want to make psychology come alive for you!

讓心理學躍然眼前。

Many of us want to be in happy and meaningful relationships, but nowadays, in a dating scene plagued with superficiality and an abundance of choice, making a relationship long-term while staying sane is much easier said than done.

很多人都想擁有幸福且有意義的愛情，但隨著現在的約會模式變得膚淺，而且充滿無限選擇，維持長期的感情，還要保持理性，可是說得比做得簡單。

The initial spark is great, but it takes a lot more than attraction to sustain a relationship.

一開始的火花很棒，但維持一段關係所需的不只是互相吸引而已。

What are some ways we can keep a healthy relationship and ensure longevity with our partners you may ask?

你可能在想：我們要如何保持健康的關係，並且和伴侶確保長久的快樂呢？

Here are 12 signs you're in a healthy relationship!

以下是 12 個感情關係健康的跡象！

1. You communicate openly.

一、你們坦誠地溝通。

A great relationship starts with transparency.

好的關係始於誠實公開。

Do you feel like you could communicate about anything with your partner, from personal needs to taboo topics?

你覺得你可以和你伴侶討論任何事情，不論是個人需求或禁忌話題？

Do the both of you take the time to listen and empathize with each other?

你們雙方會花時間去聆聽並了解對方嗎？

Good communication means using assertive techniques, which includes welcoming body language, concentrated listening, and respectful language.

良好的溝通意指使用特定的技巧，包含友善的肢體語言、專注地聆聽，以及尊重的用語。

2. You argue.

二、你們會爭執。

This might sound strange, but arguing sometimes is actually healthy in a relationship.

乍聽也許奇怪，但在健康的關係中，爭執是很正常的。

Otherwise, you're probably just bottling up your feelings and letting them turn into resentment.

否則，你可能只是不斷壓抑，讓這些情緒變成憎恨。

Couples who communicate well can argue effectively.

溝通良好的伴侶能夠有效地爭執。

Both parties can state their opinions while trying to understand where the other person is coming from.

雙方都能陳述自己的意見，並嘗試理解對方的立場。

They also know when to apologize when they are wrong.

他們也知道何時該為自己的錯誤道歉。

This point, however, shouldn't be confused with destructive fighting In which couples use aggressive behavior and language to hurt each other when they disagree about an issue.

但不要把這一點誤認成破壞性的爭吵，在後者，伴侶不同意彼此的時候會使用攻擊性的行為或言語傷害對方。

3. You keep relationship details private.

三、你不張揚感情的細節。

It's normal to turn to close friends and family for relationship advice when you run into conflict with your partner.

和伴侶產生爭執時，求助於朋友或家人是很正常的。

But making your problems public on social media is passive aggressive and can damage the trust you've built with them.

但是把感情問題公布在社群媒體上有「被動攻擊性」，並可能會破壞你和他們建立的信任。

Everyone needs a sense of privacy to feel safe, including relationships!

每個人都需要一點隱私才能感到安全，感情也不例外。

4. You don't hold grudges.

四、你不記舊帳。

The more you get to know your partner, the more you may get on each other's nerves, which is normal.

隨著你越來越了解你的伴侶，你們就越容易惹怒彼此，這是很正常。

We all get a little agitated from time to time and say and do things we don't mean that can upset our partners.

我們都時不時會情緒激動，無意間說出或做出傷害我們伴侶的話語、舉動。

But holding a grudge, even after they apologize sincerely, can hurt your relationship in the long run.

但是在道歉之後持續耿耿於懷，長期下來對感情有害。

Be sure to talk things out instead when you're upset, and learn to let go.

記得生氣的時候要把事情說清楚，並學會放下。

Being in a healthy relationship doesn't mean you're glued at the hip!

互相妥協是關鍵。

11. You get intimate.

十一、你們可以很親密。

Yes, sex is extremely beneficial in healthy relationships, but so is intimacy.

沒錯，健康關係中性愛確實很重要，但親密互動也是。

Intimacy can be bonding, sexually, or otherwise, familiarity, or romance.

親密可以是連結行為，不論是性行為、彼此熟悉或浪漫舉動。

維持一段健康的關係表示給予你的伴侶愛、優質的相處時光、送禮或其他表現愛的形式。

12. Lastly, you make each other better.

Fixing Is not the same as supporting.

改正對方不等於支持對方。
