3.) Appreciate each other
Make sure that you are telling your partner what a great job they are doing. The longer you have been in a committed relationship, it becomes easy to become critical and scrutinize everything your partner does.
To make him feel appreciated and loved, be sure that you are doing a lot more affirming than nagging and tearing down.
4.) Don’t give yourselves titles
Something possibly changes in our minds when we add the “girlfriend” or “boyfriend” title. Communication is not always as simple as it was when you were just dating.
But occasionally you have to be able to put the girlfriend or wife hat to the side to allow your partner to be really open and honest with you.
It’s the “I won’t get mad, but I just want to know where you are coming from,” zone. Friends listen to each other without immediately flying off the handle.
