Respond gracefully to your partners

A big killer of relationships is unreasonable expectations. Unless you married a robot, your partner comes pre loaded with a whole range of human failures and foibles. These are features, not bugs! Learn to recognize and appreciate your partners quirks for what they are: an essential part of who they are as people. Since our weaknesses are often at the core of our deepest insecurities, make sure you dont pick on or otherwise go out of your way to highlight your partners flaws.
