Don’t compare your relationship to anyone else’s – not your parent’s, friend’s, coworker’s, or that random couple whose relationship seems perfect. Keep in mind that all relationships have their ups and downs.
Focus on what you two share, and make your unique bond the best it can be.

The foundation of love is to let those we care about be unapologetically themselves and not distort them to fit our own egotistical ideas of who they should be. Otherwise, we fall in love only with our own fantasies, and thus miss out entirely on their true beauty.
Give your partner your support and grow together.

If you neglect your relationship, your relationship will neglect you too.
In relationships, distance is not measured in miles, but in affection. Two people can be right next to each other and yet miles apart. So don’t ignore the one you love, because lack of concern often hurts more than angry words.

Your partner is not a mind reader. Share your thoughts. Give them the information they need rather than expecting them to know the unknowable.
The more that remains unspoken, the greater the risk for problems. Most problems, big and small, within a relationship, start with bad communication.

In a healthy relationship, you get what you put in. You get nothing less and nothing more. There is no room for selfishness. If you want love, give love. If you want to see a smile, give a smile.
Don’t be concerned with who’s right; be concerned with loving and being loved, caring and being cared for.

Having an appreciation for how amazing your partner is leads to good places – productive, fulfilling, peaceful places.

Since people’s needs change over time, and life itself demands change too, the inner workings of good relationships are negotiated and re-negotiated all the time. And oftentimes a two-way compromise is the best solution.

Blaming accomplishes nothing. Take responsibility for your actions. Take responsibility for your relationship – the good times and the bad.
Either you both take equal ownership of the problems you two encounter or the problems will own both of you.

When you feel anger surging up and you want to yell that vulgar remark on the tip of your tongue, just close your mouth and walk away. Don’t let your anger get the best of you. Give yourself some time to calm down and then gently discuss the situation.

Even the happiest couples on earth are still just two humans. And all humans are imperfect.
Stand beside the one you love through their trying times of imperfection. If you aren’t willing to, you really don’t deserve to be around for their perfect moments either.
