A lot of us get into the habit of arguing for the sake of winning the argument, with an increasingly diminishing focus on getting to the root of the problem and figuring out a solution.
Holding on to the past, bringing up past fights, assuming things, mudslinging, playing blame games, giving the silent treatment – these are things to try and refrain from if you’re looking at working out your relationship. Sure, shout out and vent at times, but also learn to go beyond that and minimise such outbursts in future.
10. You don’t say it enough
When you love someone, say it at every given opportunity. Sure, your actions may speak volumes about your love, but words said out loud have a different impact altogether. It makes your partner feel special, appreciated, and cared for. Tell your partner how much you love, appreciate, trust and respect them. This also proves that you don’t take each other granted. Prove your love in actions, but don’t forget to reiterate it with words.
