Smooth relationships hinge on how partners talk to each other daily.
A psychologist trained at Harvard says that successful couples are those who handle disagreements well.
They communicate with thankfulness and respect, unlike relationships that fall apart due to bad communication and stubborn attitudes.
If these phrases are part of your vocabulary, you’re likely in a healthier relationship:
“I appreciate your effort.”
It’s important to see and praise the good in what your partner does, rather than always pointing out faults.
Expressing thanks in a relationship is crucial for making each person feel valued.
“I like you.”
In a truly healthy relationship, you should not only love your partner but also like them for who they are, enjoying their unique qualities.
“Help me better understand this.”
Understanding your partner’s views is key to resolving conflicts and deepening your relationship. Asking for their perspective shows you care.
