Communication

1)Give up being “right” – When we let go of the need to be right we create an opportunity to be happy. Be generous with your partner and give up dwelling on or pointing out when they make a mistake; particularly when dealing with insignificant issues.
2)Communicate your expectations – Many of us expect our significant other to mind read. Even though it may appear obvious to you - communicate your expectations and needs with clarity to avoid misinterpretation. This is by far the easiest single action to eliminate or limit unnecessary disagreements.
