Showing up for them:

While some relationships rely on big show off of emotions with grand gestures and expensive gifts, the secret recipe of a healthy relationship is all about showing up for them when they need us.

Embracing conflict:

Conflicts can be a healthy way of embracing change in your partner and learning more about their perspectives, opinions and the way they see things.
