@cristiana33 I don't have a partner. But with relationships generally, I would say the biggest thing is openness. Being open to forgive and see your own faults, especially. Sticking around through the bad times - being more than a "fair weather friend." If you can do this for yourself, you can do this for others.

I believe it @cristiana33!

It's no different from the rest of life imo. When we come across hardships and obstacles, the way we move forward is to grow and overcome these challenges. It's no different with relationship conflicts. I believe each obstacle can be seen as either a conflict or an opportunity for growth!

The best thing that's helped me in my conflicts is to work up the emotional courage to confront my boo when I have a problem. For me, I'm really open to feedback so once I understand what the issue is, I am pretty good at working through it. I'm just not as self-aware so the feedback piece is incredibly important to me.

Here's a neat inspirtional video on relationships! :)
