anyway, my vote is "yes". the individual healthiness does not determine the healthiness of relationship. however, the intimacy and depth of bond does rely on individual's healthniess.
just my opinion.

But aren’t intimacy and depth integral to the health of a relationship. That is to say the more intimate and the deeper the relationship the healthier it is. For example a resting heart rate below 65 beats per minute is not requisite for being a healthy individual, however, it does make one healthier, ceteris peribus. Therefore, I argue, that the degree a relationship’s health is determined by the degree to which the individuals themselves are healthy people.
I think it is important to keep in mind that the health of a relationship is something measured on a continuum. Relationships are not simply good or bad. Some are better than others (therefore healthier), which most of the time is dictated by aspects such as intimacy and depth. IMHO.
