Talk, but don’t talk back. Tell your partner how you feel and what you need. When you’re the listener, don’t criticise, debate, dismiss or problem-solve. Recognise that your partner’s concerns are as important as yours.
Be optimistic. Keep your comments positive - even when discussing problems - and make the effort to remember and appreciate the good in your relationship.
Learn to leave an argument before it’s out of control. Tactics include cracking a joke, showing appreciation and backing down.
Share your dreams. And find a way to help your spouse realise his or hers.
Be flexible. When your spouse asks you to be accommodating, try.
Go on a date. Couples need time as twosomes, to reconnect.
