Your relationship is so important to you and you need to treat it with supportive care that it needs to survive over the long-term.
You need to follow these three golden rules:
1. Fight fair
Arguing with your partner is part of a relationship, but knowing how to fight fairly will be an important skill to keep your relationship solid throughout the years. In a relationship, things will not always be fair, but they should be respectful of both partners’ needs. Meaning if one partner doesn’t get their way now, make sure that there are opportunities for them to get there way in the future.
2. Honesty
If you are planning on investing your time and energy into your relationship, being honest is a core value. Without honesty, you will establish a weak foundation and eventually things will fall apart. Do your best to follow this golden rule that every relationship needs to know because the consequences of being less honest are so painful.
3. Approach
Sometimes we automatically become frustrated when our partners make mistakes. It is important for you to be patient and encouraging rather than being negative and critical. Your partner wants your help, but its how you approach the problem that makes a difference. When you are patient, it encourages your partner to want to change with your help. Give your partner time to make changes.
