Did You Know?

That being in a committed relationship provides both emotional and academic support. A partner can be a source of encouragement with school stressors and they can help you with your coursework and studying.

Trust, Boundaries, Communication and Respect

• Trust is developed over time and is important because it allows you to be vulnerable an yet feel safe and comfortable with your partner, which will increase your happiness.
• Establishing boundaries helps you to develop limits and rules for a healthy relationship that will define what is acceptable and unacceptable in order to build a trusting relationship.
• Communication is imperative to a healthy relationship. Spending a few minutes a day discussing deep personal subjects can help you and your partner to stay connected long term.
• Respect in a relationship means understanding your worth, acting honorably, setting and honoring boundaries, being a person of your word, showing consideration, compromising and admitting when you are wrong.
