Answer: Independent married couples

Explanation:

Independent married couples love each other and share most of their activities together however they still have their own life separately or independently that doesn't evolve around the other partner.

This is a health relationship because each person doesn't feel bound to the other they can still establish their own independence. Some couples may complain of having lost their independence due to marriage which may make them feel suffocated by the other person but for independent couples it is always interesting when they get to do something together because they still have their own independent lives.
