Healthy relationship to me means that a relationship in which all the parties to the relationship receive more than what they give. Another description for such a relationship could be cooperative relationship. Respect is an essential element of such a cooperative relationship. Each party in the relationship must respect the individuality, needs and rights of the other parties. This creates a healthy atmosphere for growth of mutual cooperation. Another essential ingredient for cooperation is mutual trust, and the best way to develop such trust is to be trustworthy. These are two essential ingredients between all good relationships. All other factors may or may not be essential depending on the nature of relationship. For example love is considered to be most essential ingredient in relationship between husband and wife, and in this the importance of love is so dominant that reciprocity takes a back stage. In relationship of deep love people do not calculate their gains and losses. However in a buyer-seller relationship reciprocity is perhaps very important. Though some love may exist between a buyers and sellers, it is definitely not an essential requirement, and perhaps intimacy is something which should be left out all together in such relationships.
