3 Signs Your Relationship is Boosting Your Physical Health

Being in the wrong relationship can take a toll on both your mental and physical health. Conversely, being in a healthy, mature relationship with a supportive partner can have a positive impact on your overall well-being. Research indicates that a happy relationship can contribute to longevity, strengthen your immune system, and even alleviate pain.

According to Suzanne Degges-White, a licensed counselor and professor at Northern Illinois University, being in a mature relationship can bring about physical and emotional benefits, leaving you feeling hopeful and excited about the future. Here are three signs that your romantic relationship is not only emotionally fulfilling but also beneficial for your physical health:

1. Your Body Feels Relaxed Around Your Partner

One key indicator of a healthy relationship is how your body responds to your partner’s presence. Degges-White suggests using your level of stress as a barometer. In a supportive relationship, you’ll likely feel relaxed and at ease, experiencing a sense of expansion and warmth in your body when you think about your partner. Even the mere thought of your partner smiling can evoke a reflex smile from you, indicating a deep sense of connection and safety.

2. You Feel More Energized

In contrast to the lethargy often experienced in unhealthy relationships, being in a mature relationship can leave you feeling invigorated and capable. Laughing and engaging in meaningful conversations with your partner can boost your energy levels, making you feel more prepared to take on challenges.

3. You Adopt Healthy Habits

A positive side effect of being in a healthy relationship is the encouragement to prioritize your health in other areas of your life. Feeling energetic and optimistic in your relationship can make it easier to adopt healthy habits such as regular exercise and a balanced diet. While it doesn’t mean you have to become a fitness enthusiast overnight, you may find yourself more willing to engage in physical activities with your partner, fostering a sense of readiness and capability.

Overall, being in a mature relationship that prioritizes mutual support and growth can contribute to not only emotional satisfaction but also improved physical health.
