10 indicators of Relationships
Unhealthy
Negative & Overwhelming
When someone is overly intense, negative and overwhelming, it's an indication that something is not quite right. If they're moving the relationship way too fast, being overly clingy, and always wanting to be in touch, it's a red flag. It’s better to be aware of red flags early in relationships rather than later on.

10 Gentle touch indicators of Healthy Relationships
Healthy relationships are all about bringing out the best in each other. It's important to remember that a healthy relationship doesn't have to be perfect all the time – nobody's perfect, after all. However, there are certain behaviors and signs that we should aim for in all our relationships. Let's explore some of the key characteristics and behaviors of a healthy relationship based on the fruits of the spirit found in Galatians 5: 22-23. The fruit of the Spirit includes qualities such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. In the context of domestic violence, particularly in relationships, the aspect of gentleness is significant.
Gentleness, as a fruit of the Spirit, encompasses true friendship, compassion, and tenderness. In the context of relationships, gentleness involves promoting an environment of empathy, understanding, and support along with trust and faith.
