5 Tips for a better relationship

ListenAgain...this seems so simple doesn't it?
But how many of us really listen? Really HEAR what our partner is saying... Are you one of these people who start to speak before your partner has finished speaking? You're not alone! Put aside your own thoughts and feelings...really tune into what your partner is saying...and feeling! It takes practice...but you can do it! |

Respect
You WILL disagree... you WILL have conflict...You WILL be triggered by your own insecurities, traumas, and stresses. Be aware of these... work to prevent your own personal issues from hurting your partner. Remember that your partner is your LOVE... why on earth would you want to hurt or be disrespectful to someone you love?
