Thanks, Kirstie. Communication is key. We need to speak up for what we want and be courageous in doing so. Approaching issues in a non-confrontational way is also of paramount importance. Start off on a positive note with something you really like that your partner does and reassure them how special they are to you, but introduce 'how you feel' about a certain issue and then offer a potential solution to engage in mutual dialogue. It should always be encouraged to feel safe expressing opinions to each other. Have an open mind so there is no 'right' and 'wrong' and a willingness to try is sometimes all it takes to strengthen a relationship and grow the love.
