NOTE

**Security in a Relationship **

Security in a relationship encompasses the balance between safety and freedom. It allows individuals, whether children or adults, to feel rooted and connected while also granting them the freedom to explore the world independently. This security is reflected in the dynamics of attachment, where one can experience comfort and consolation, similar to a child nestled against a parent. When individuals feel secure, they can venture out, play, and engage in their own activities without fear or anxiety about their partner's emotional state. The assurance that one will be welcomed back fosters a sense of trust, enabling both freedom and connection simultaneously. Security in a relationship means being at ease with the knowledge that even in moments of separation, there exists an unbreakable bond that sustains both parties emotionally and supports individual growth.
