Learn from past relationship mistakes
Honesty
Be completely honest. Don't hide things. This can lead to MAJOR trust issues!
Bring on the lovey-dovey
I don't care how long the relationship has lasted, the love-dovey stuff HAS to continue! Who wants to share the rest of their life with someone who's a ice cube?
Communication
TALK. It's hard for even ME to let my guard down and talk about personal things with my partner, but it is crucial. No need to be a Chatty Kathy, but you do have to talk about other things besides just the two of you. Be open like you would with a friend.
Respect
Must have mutual respect. Treat the other person the way you WANT to be treated. Put yourself in their shoes. This is NOT one-sided, though. The other person must do the same!
totally agree with that..i also think you should say thanks like you mean it for the small things your partner does,everyone likes to be appreciated don't they?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Say thank you and mean it. It feels horrible when you are not recognized for the little things. That is DEF a good and IMPORTANT one!
