A healthy relationship takes effort, including good communication, conflict resolutio, and stress management.

Long-term, committed, intimate relationships are a source of joy and well-being for many people. People in healthy long-term relationships report higher levels of happiness, fewer health problems, and longer life spans.

Although an estimated 45% of marriages end in divorce, remarriage is common and support is available for couples and their children going through this transition.
