Step 1

Look into your partner’s eye when you are speaking with them. This is important because it makes your partner feel like you are really listening and connecting with them.

  • Step 2

    Listen attentively. Show you are listening and understanding what they are saying. Couples that take the time to truly listen to each other find that they have fewer communication issues.

  • Step 3

    Show your appreciation. Tell your partner how lucky you feel to have them in your life. Tell them you appreciate what they do to make your relationship work and that you love them.

  • Step 4

    Ask your partner what you want and need from them. A successful relationship is a two-way street. If you both ask for what you need in the relationship you are bound to feel connected. No one is a mind reader!

  • Step 5

    Learn to compromise with each other. If one of you wants to go to the cinema and the other one wants to go to a baseball game, then do both on two different nights. Keep talking, and speaking openly and honestly.

  • Step 6

    Be honest. The more you are honest about your feelings with your partner, the more you will get out of your relationship.

  • Step 7

    Show affection when you are communicating. Couples keep a spark when they hold hands or are loving when they talk.
