- Don’t stew on your anger. Communicate in a constructive, positive manner straight away
- Practice listening. Hear between the lines, and understand what your partner is really saying
- Monitor the health of your relationships. Go on regular dates, and numerous small trips rather than one big holiday. Take time to be together alone with no distractions. This is when you have real communication.
- Be curious. Apologise when you mess up. Empathise and Validate. Be a team. Prioritize sex.
- Know your negative cycle. Know how to interrupt your negative cycle. Meet each other attachment needs. Be intentional with words and actions.
