Give each other a little space
Giving each other a little space might not set right with the conventional values we attach to relationships but giving each other a little space is as important as spending time with each other. Holding your partner back just because you want to spend more time with them doesn’t seem right, does it? A relationship is made stronger by maintaining a perfect balance in a relationship – enough time to be an individual and still be a power couple.
Don’t expect your partner to change

This will not only make your partner more considerate but also make you guys a happier couple who understand each other.
Communication is key

After they complete, analyse what they have said and respond calmly. Empathize, even though you know they are wrong. When you hear their thoughts carefully, they will see and also respond with empathy. Showing compassion in a conversation leaves no room for arguement.
Be honest in your relationship

Once there is no trust in a relationship then it becomes extremely difficult to rebuild the same bond. With honesty as the foundation of a relationship, there is nothing that can take your happiness away.
Respect each other and do not take your partner for granted
Treating your partner with respect is something that should come naturally. Show them how much you will love them by respecting them and not taking them for granted. When you express your feelings like you mean it, it will enrich your relationship in many ways.
