The present study aims to examine relationship satisfaction, support preferences, and partner-selection attitudes among students preparing for helping professions, with particular emphasis on the dynamics of balancing professional identity and private life. A total of 138 students completed the questionnaire, which assessed demographic characteristics, relationship status, and individual preferences. The results indicate that the most important relationship preferences include reliability, a shared vision for the future, and supportive involvement; most respondents seek a partner who contributes to the stability of the relationship on both emotional and practical levels. Overall, relationship satisfaction proved to be high within the sample: love, fulfilment of needs, and perceived relationship quality received positive evaluations in more than 80% of responses, while relationship regret appeared at a low rate. Sexual satisfaction and the presence of relationship problems showed greater variability, suggesting diversity in relational functioning. The students’ preference system emphasizes emotional security, honest communication, and value-based thinking, which reflects the empathetic and human-centred attitudes characteristic of the helping professions. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of relationship dynamics from the perspective of those entering helping fields.
