This is such an extremely key element in the success of any relationship!!
Open communication where relatively anything can be said
Turn based communication: I state my case, he states his
Listening time: I state my case, no argument, he states his, no argument
Compliment each other often
Laugh in a serious situation
Say random silly things
Leave each other random notes
Don't spend every waking moment together or focused on each other
Take nothing for granted
We don't make promises - Broken promises , intentional or not, lead to negative feelings
We dont lavish each other with money or material things - This makes the occasional gift a truly special, more appreciated thing
We share our spiritual views
We both meditate regularly
We both exercise regularly - he martial arts/weights.. I do yoga and kickboxing
We compromise on simple things
We try not to dwell on the negative for long amounts of time
We are brutally honest with each other - When he thinks I'm acting like a spoiled little brat, he will say so. When I feel as if his friends are influencing him in a negative manner, I tell him. Then we discuss why we each feel that way.
