A relationship can bring together two people with different childhoods, families and ideas.
This can help both people learn and grow.
However, not every change in a relationship is healthy.
A person should not have to give up friends, goals or independence to keep a partner happy.
Healthy relationships allow both people to remain themselves while discovering new ways to live together.
