1.Communicate Openly

Communication is the bedrock of your union. When you communicate, your partner knows what is in your mind. When you feel bothered, do not hold back .Tell your partner what is wrong and how to solve it.

So, why do we still fail at communication? Well,simple,we don’t understand that communication is a two-way street! We talk yet we never listen.We want to air our frustrations yet we don’t want to put ourselves in our partner’s shoes. We don’t think about how they may be feeling about the same issue.

Allow your partner to speak up. Be ready to listen in a cool, rational way.Finally,try to find an amicable solution to any disagreement you have.

2. Know When To Compromise

Try to understand that neither of you is perfect. We all have our faults and your partner is no exception. Be ready to accept your partner’s faults and find a way to accommodate them. This ensures that you live peacefully. Some of the problems you used to argue about will be distant memories.

3. Respect Your Partner

Respect is paramount in a relationship! No way around that. Respect is a two-way street. Therefore learn to treat your partner the way you would like to be treated. Never dress down your partner in public. Any fault you may have seen in your partner can be solved in private. Wait for an opportune moment and say exactly why you were displeased with their behavior. Doing the opposite embarrasses you both, lowers your partner’s self-worth and you end up looking like a jerk!

This ensures that you keep out of each others’ hair and your relationship flourishes.
