Strong relationships are based on trust and common bonds. Communication is another essential. Let yourself be heard. Say what you mean, mean what you say, but don't say it mean.
Listen
Break through the communication barriers.


 
Improve Communication and Improve Attitudes:
  • Find something positive in what your partner says and does.
  • Beware of unfair comparing: wondering if you would be better off with someone else. Instead, be grateful for what you have. 
         Anti-Arguing Tips
Everyone argues, the key is playing fair and resolving the argument, by compromising, or agreeing to disagree, not holding grudges, instead: forgive.

Always fight fair: State your case, stick to the facts
  • Keep it simple
  • Keep it short
  • Don't bring up the past, focus on the current concern
  • No name calling
  • Stay calm, yelling does not help
