When it’s not happen, it can lead to arguments, misunderstandings and frustrations. Some couples are not so open and honest with each other.

Listen, what your partner has to tell you. Give him/her chance of expressing their feelings. That is how you can get to know each other better. When there is a misunderstanding or a disagreement between you and your partner, start a conversation with him/her. Then try to listen well so patiently. Their point of view can be different but still can be true.

Don’t attacked your partner with harass words. Talk patiently using kind words. Give them respect and you will receive respect back from them. Your patient can make them more open to you. And it will make your bond with your partner more stronger.
