Green flags? There are countless signs of green flags in a relationship that can raise people’s standards on love. But here are my 5 takeaways:

  1. Effort to improve.

This is my greenest flag in a relationship because it shows a person’s willingness to grow and improve things between the two of you. For me, this is also a great sign that someone wants to be better for you. Some people would just leave and say you can find someone better, but no, they should strive to be better for you.

2. Communication.

I know life is busy but finding time to communicate with each other is really a sign of love. It’s when someone makes time to check on you and make you a part of their schedule. Additionally, it’s also the way they understand your views and opinion and exchange healthy discussions. That’s definitely a plus!

3. Emotional Intelligence

Having emotional intelligence is a good sign that you can be vulnerable towards each other. It reflects openness and understanding.

4. Shared values.

It’s hard to deal with someone who doesn't share the same values as you. It usually ends with misunderstandings. When your values, aspirations and views align, you’ll be able to navigate into a healthy journey as a couple.

5. Boundaries

Someone who knows boundaries in a relationship also acknowledges who you are and what your limitations are. Even if you’re already in a relationship, both parties should never disregard each other’s boundaries.
