Do you still turn each other on? Even the best marriages are not hot and heavy forever.Do you support one another? Are you and your spouse there for each other when the going gets tough? Do you each feel happy when the other succeeds and/or grows as a person? If one of you wants to try something new and different (other than sexual infidelity, of course), is that decision encouraged and supported?.Do you respect one another? Do you feel free to be your own person, and do you value your spouse’s right to the same? Are you and your spouse able to respectfully (maybe even enjoyably) have separate opinions, activities, friendships, and the like?.When a marriage is not so healthy, even the smallest issue can become a smoldering resentment and a roadblock to intimacy. When a marriage is healthy, disagreements offer a growth opportunity-a chance to learn about one another and grow closer as a result. Are you able to disagree without blowing up? In any relationship, conflict is inevitable.Do you share core values? It is not necessary to agree on every little thing, but healthy couples do need at least a bit of common ground regarding things like religion, politics, finances, education, kids, and the like.So the real question here is whether you still implicitly trust your spouse. Admittedly, your spouse’s trust in you is probably shattered right now, and rightfully so. If two people trust each other, if they know they have each other’s backs no matter what, that’s a solid relationship foundation. Do you trust your spouse? Trust is an essential element in healthy relationships.No, you don’t have to enjoy all of your spouse’s pastimes and hobbies or vice versa, but you do need to have a few important things that you both enjoy. Do you play well together? Good marriages are built on shared interests.
Spouses should be counted as a best friend.
