Keep the bedroom for sleeping and for intimacy. Fighting not allowed in that room.
Frustrations with your partner is to be shared with them only. Do not share these emotions with friends or family members
Never threaten the relationship! “That’s it, I’m done!” or “I knew we shouldn’t have gotten married!” and other similar comments are to be avoided.
Show daily appreciation. Make sure you express to your partner appreciation, specific appreciation and admiration, daily. Afterall, appreciation is the antidote to contempt.
Take ownership when you screw up. Be the first to say sorry and to recommit to being better.
Protect each other. Don’t let outside influence invade your shared space. Be that safe space for your partner always.
