One of the keys to a loving and happy relationship is mutual understanding. Below are some tips that may seem like common sense, but you may realize how often you’re forgetting about them. 

1. Admit When You’re Wrong

During an argument, open your mind and really listen to what your partner has to say, and if you discover that you are wrong, you’ll gain your partner’s appreciation and respect if you admit it. Remember people make mistakes, you don’t have to be perfect. If you make a mistake, it is always better to have the courtesy to apologize and take responsibility for what you did.    

2. Leave the Past in the Past

If you work through some issues together and come to a positive resolution, don’t look back. This tough time in your relationship should only be used to strengthen your bond. If you refer back to it during arguments or as a means of guilt-tripping your partner, then you’ll sabotage the opportunity for future happiness.  Also, try not to assume that just because something happened once, that it’ll happen again. 

3. Don’t “Let Yourself Go”

Part of the beauty of true love, is not having to obsess over your looks like you did when you started dating. However, letting yourself go fully can start to undermine your relationship by telling the other person you don’t care as much about what they think anymore. Your partner will appreciate the effort you put into your own appearance.  

4. Don’t Hide Your Emotions

Just like it is important to be honest, it is important to express your emotions because there’s no such thing as pride in a relationship. Try to let go of your ego and let down your walls. Vulnerability is the key to having a closer, more intimate connection. 

5. Respect Each Other’s Alone Time

Time alone is necessary for personal reflection, growth or even just quiet contemplation. Support your significant other by respecting their own interests and understanding their need to do what they love.
