5. Anger is always the wrong choice

Anger is a choice. And it is never a good one.

6. Don't act while angry

When you are angry, the best thing to do is nothing. Don’t even think. Just let the anger subside.

7. Relationships should be off social media

Social media does not need to know everything that happens in your relationship. Don’t hide the fact that you’re in a relationship, but keep the things that happen therein, private, as much as possible.

8. Love languages

Learn your partner’s love language, else, you’ll labour in vain to provide acts of service and gifting gifts when your partner only understands words of affirmation and quality time. This could put so much strain on your relationship.

9. No pride

Swallow your pride and make amends as soon as possible, irrespective of who is wrong. There is no medal for 'Best Partner Who Can Stay Angry For the Longest Time.'
