So, instead of listening to your anger, make an effort to listen to what your partner has to say.
5. Never expect your partner to read your mind
No matter how long you two have been in a relationship, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can read each other’s minds. You need to express yourself and communicate with your partner, don’t expect them to figure everything by themselves.
You should also keep in mind that hints are rarely perceptible and guessing that you are tired, need some cuddling, or want to hear sweet things is not as easy for your partner to do as you imagine.
Plus, expressing your desires will only bring you closer and make your relationship stronger since there wouldn’t be any expectation-related misunderstandings or disappointments.
4. Understand your partner’s love language
Love is universal, but people can interpret and express it in endless different ways.
The way you know how to love, and your definition of love may not resonate with your partner, and it’s OK as long as you both give in to one another’s love languages.
Sometimes, the way you show love and affection can mean very little to your partner, but it’s not because they don’t care or don’t know how to love.
One of the most common relationship problems is where people automatically expect their partner to speak the same love language as them, only to be disappointed later on and probably blame it on them.
3. Take turns initiating lovemaking
A healthy relationship is also built on never falling into the habit of letting only one of you make the first move so you can make love.
Not taking turns to initiate an intimate relationship can cause serious damage to your relationship because the initiator is likely to feel
unwanted or uncomfortable while the person who rarely makes the first move gets all the powerful feelings.
The best way to resolve this issue and keep a good relationship is to always talk openly about intimacy using explicit details so that both parts get to stay comfortable.
