live in the moment

Talk about money, before and during a relationship. Have a plan, set goals. Discuss monthly budget and be accountable. Make it fun.:tea:

Have respect for one another, no matter what the status of your relationship is (future, current, past, unknown) or how well you are currently getting along.

fight fairly...it's not easy sometimes but very necessary..most important ..keep calm, no name calling, don't accuse instead, take turns expressing how you see it, strive for accommodation..you can't win unless you both win

Spend some time actually getting to know someone before you pack it all up and move across the country for them....so much heartache could be avoided.

Listen. I don’t mean wait for your turn to talk, actually listen to what your partner (or friend, family) is saying before you formulate your response.

Put your device down and spend time doing things together.

Listen with intent to hear not just reply, in fact master the art of making your loved know they have your full attention without answering, be comfortable with the pauses, leave them space to pause , think, continue without interruption.
