What is a healthy marriage?

Research performed by psychologists in recent years says that the essential element in any relationship is not that you don’t fight, but emotional responsiveness. Emotional responsiveness between couples makes a difference between healthy couples and those that don’t.

It relies on a secure attachment, knowing that you can trust your partner and turn to them for support by creating a stronger emotional bond. When you feel that you have that have a safe emotional bond in a marriage, you can deal with marriage troubles more quickly and clearly. There are many health benefits to feeling emotionally secure for both the individual, and for the health of a marriage.

Marriage psychologist and relationship counselling expert, Dr. Sue Johnson, shares the key ingredient to a healthy marriage.
