At the men’s health summit held in Charleston several weeks ago some interesting tips were given to the men only health summit as to how to improve the relationship with your significant other. These tips generated very interesting dialog. Here are a few that stood out with me.
1. Be honest and open
2. Don’t have unreal expectations of your partner
3. Don’t expect your partner to have all the traits that you don’t have
4. Don’t expect the relationship to fill your financial needs
5. Don’t compete with your mate
6. Balance time spent together and apart, have a sense of connection to each other
7. Know and love yourself
8. Trust and share with each other
9. Have good communication in conflict resolution
10. Recognize that children are people too.
