    One thing people need to keep in mind is, if one is working toward improving themselves/their relationship flaws and the other isn’t, beware the gap that will occur. The one will become strong and the other will become more adamantly opposed to that strength. Best if both go through some relationship building together. If one won’t, that’s a pretty sure sign. imo : )

      That’s a good point, Juanita. It’s like tuning in a radio dial. If you’re on different frequencies, there’s a lot of static. 🙂

  • These are great points, but I think #2 on fighting fair can be taken even further. John Gottman writes that criticism is unhealthy, and should be tempered with 5x as many positives, but my wife and I disagree; we think that ALL criticism is corrosive, and diluting it doesn’t fix the damage.
    Instead, once you have established that your core values align, and you are committed (your fifth point), then disagreements can be resolved every time without resorting to conflict.
