1. Communicate Honestly and Openly

• Express your feelings without playing games or expecting your partner to read your mind.
• Listen actively and validate your partner's feelings, even if you disagree.
• Have tough conversations when needed - avoidance breeds resentment.

2. Take Responsibility For Your Emotions

• Your partner is not responsible for your happiness.
• Recognise your triggers and work on self regulation.
• Apologise when you're wrong and make an effort to improve.

3. Set And Respect Boundaries

• Know your own boundaries and communicate them clearly.
• Respect your partner's boundaries without taking it personally.
• Healthy boundaries create trust, not distance.

4. Handle Conflict With Maturity

• No silent treatment, guilt tripping, or passive aggressive behavior.
• Discuss issues calmly without attacking each other.
• Seek solutions, not victories.

5. Support Each Other's Growth

• Encourage your partner's goals, dreams, and individuality.
• Be a team, not competitors.
• Celebrate wins and offer comfort during setbacks.

6. Be Consistent And Reliable

• Keep your promises - reliability builds trust.
• Be present in good times and bad.
• Small consistent actions matter more than grand gestures.

7. Practice Forgiveness And Let Go Of Grudges

• Holding onto past mistakes creates resentment.
• Forgive genuinely if you choose to move forward.
• Learn from mistakes but don't weaponize them.

8. Maintain Your Individuality

• Don't lose your identity in the relationship.
• Have your own hobbies, friends, and goals.
• A healthy relationship is two whole individuals growing together.

9. Don't Rush Or Force Things

• Love and connection take time to build.
• Don't rush milestones to keep up with societal expectations.
• Let the relationship evolve naturally.

10. Know When To Walk Away

• Sometimes love isn't enough - if respect, trust, or safety is compromised, it's okay to leave.
• Don't stay in a relationship just because time invested.
• Prioritize your well-being.
