7 tips to improve your relationships
1. Careful consideration. You meet the person of your dreams. But please calm yourself down long enough to listen to everything your partner says and assess its possible impact on your relationship. Carefully consider to all aspects of your partner’s character, words and behaviour so that you make balanced (mental as well as emotional) choices about love.
2. Calm. In the midst of a spirited disagreement, take the time to count to 20 (or 100 if you need to!) to calm yourself down and maintain your composure.
3. Courtesy. ‘Please’, ‘would you mind’, ‘excuse me’, and ‘thank you’ are important phrases to use freely at home as well as with the general public. During discussions express your thoughts, ask for what you want, and then give the floor over to your partner to respond. And listen!
4. Cooperation. In the spirit of cooperation, the couple agrees to respect each other, to avoid calling each other names, and to avoid bringing up old stuff that has nothing to do with the situation at hand.
5. Call. Call to say ‘hello’ from work. Call to say ‘I was thinking about how much I love you’. Call to say you ‘will be late’. Call to give advance notice that you are bringing home a guest. Call to ask if there is anything needed from the market.
6. Commitment. Commit to identifying a solution that works for the relationship. Your goal is to have a long-term, happy union, which may at times mean you have to concede a few points and find a middle ground.
7. Compromise. You give something to get something. You exchange desires sometimes because it makes your partner happy. It is good for your relationship or marriage, so you do it without keeping tabs.
