1. Be understanding and considerate to your other half.

2. Find the right time and place for the both of you to communicate. Don't start complaining or express negative feelings after your partner comes home from a long day at work.

3. Do something special for your loved one; something as simple as cooking a meal or saying "I love you" will let them know that you appreciate him/her.

4. While both of you share certain interests, respect and be tolerant of differences. Give your partner space to do what he/she likes, even if you don't have the slightest enthusiasm for it.

5. Overlook the little things that might spark off a quarrel. There's no point arguing over how someone squeezes the toothpaste or whether the toilet seat is up or down.
