But having a healthy relationship with your partner is about more than attraction; it requires respect, trust and open communication. More at: https://goo.gl/KExrfd #LoveIsRespect #TMUnityMonth

Creating boundaries is not a sign of secrecy or distrust — it’s an expression of what makes you feel comfortable and what you would like or not like to happen within the relationship.
