Chemistry gets you started; communication keeps you going. These habits separate relationships that last from those that fizzle.
Listen to understand, not to reply
Most arguments are really about feeling unheard. Reflect back what you hear before you respond.
Name feelings early
Small resentments grow in silence. Saying 'I felt a bit hurt earlier' beats a blow-up next week.
Repair, don't win
The goal of a disagreement isn't victory — it's reconnection. Apologise sincerely and move forward together.
