For me the most helpful thing has been to really understand what I mean by "healthy." I ask myself what I want from the relationship, what I'm willing to "compromise" on and what I'm not. Then I know that I have made choices about what I'm okay with and I can more fully support my partner, whatever her needs. I find out what works for OUR relationship as far as demonstrating affection, expressing ourselves, and I make a point of doing THAT frequently.

Communication and more communication and boundaries. Talking with your partner about his feelings and thoughts while aslo communicating your thoughts and feeling is super important in any relationship. Take extra care to make sure you understand the things they feel comfortable doing and the things that they don't. Be sure to educate yourself and that you listen (and validate) what they say and feel. Relationships don't need to have a define parameter you have to follow, your relationship is defined by the people involved and what makes them happy.

It takes two people to make a relationship work. Bit of give a take really. If one is giving it there all and the other is just taking then that's not healthy. The one giving it their all will eventually start resenting the other. However...If you both truthfully love each other you can both make it work as long as you're both willing to give a little. Good luck and just have fun!!! Go out together or have fun nights in :)

Communication is key! Without any communication, a relationship could go very south. If one partner never knows what is happening in the others life, how are they to help?

Well, I would say talk about it first. Ask each other what you really want from the relationship. Be sure to compromise some things so you aren't completely miserable. Be sure to openly communicate both your want and needs.

Supporting your partner no matter how they feel about themselves, or what they have chosen is the most romantic thing you can do for them. Trust their decision and feel comfortable in their presence.

Spend time with them like friends. You don't need romantic for a relationship. Just keep it alive with spending time with your partner and never let them down. keep your partner with love but don't rush anything and let them be too. aromantic just means that your partner have no please to be romantic but it doesn't mean that your partner is against romantic. If she maybe wants some romantic go on and enjoy it. but don't forget that this is still a relationship and nothing else. Just make it be a loving relationship by being human and a loving being
