10 “Green” Flags That You’re in a Strong Relationship (2 of 6)

They’re responsive

Look, we all live busy lives. That said, it doesn’t take more than a minute to send a text or make a call to check in on someone. It’s really telling when your partner makes a regular effort to see how you’re doing and replies to your messages in a timely fashion. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should panic if 5 minutes have gone by and they haven’t responded to your text. However, if your partner frequently ignores your messages, it would raise some concerns.

They communicate honestly

We all know that honesty is the best policy, right? It might take time for them to feel comfortable with expressing themselves fully, but if the relationship reaches the stage when they are willing and able to do so, that’s a green flag. They are straightforward with you about their expectations as it relates to the relationship.Additionally, if there is a disagreement, they won’t act passive-aggressively; instead, they will clearly communicate their position.
