One green flag I don’t think we talk about enough: You laugh more when that person is around. Life is already serious enough. There’s work. Stress. Responsibilities. Bills. Family. Health. A never-ending list of things that need your attention. So having someone you can be completely ridiculous with matters. Health is not only what happens in the gym, the kitchen, or the doctor’s office. The quality of our relationships and our sense of connection are also part of the health conversation. Strong social connection can help support our response to stress and is associated with better physical and mental health outcomes. It does not replace medical care, therapy, sleep, movement, or nutrition. It is another important part of the foundation. A good partner will not solve every problem for you. But they can make difficult days feel less lonely. They can encourage healthier habits, remind you to rest, challenge you when necessary, and help you remember that life is also supposed to be enjoyed. Look for someone you can build with. Look for someone you can be honest with. And yes, look for someone you can dance terribly with. Being able to laugh together is a green flag worth protecting. #Love #marriage #couplegoals #greenflags #lifetstyle
