The reason I say this is because I -am- and I dearly love my wife and we have a happy marriage. I think I might be in a minority here.

What is it that makes it so good in your opinion? Like how does it work so well?.

@Ryannnnnn Neither of us do shitty things to one another, we allow each other our foibles, and we try to keep it cool and not get too angry. We talk shit out when there's a real problem, and we let a lot of shit we may not love slide rather than trying to fix one another or force shit to a point.

@CountScrofula sounds a lot like us tbh

@CountScrofula All good behaviors. I would add:

Validate your partners feelings whether you agree or not. It helps them feel heard and understood.

If all you have to do to resolve a conflict is do something simple or apologize, then just do it. Don't be a stubborn ass.

Compromise on things.

Don't air your dirty laundry outside of the relationship unless its productive, like seeing a therapist. Don't talk smack about your partner to friends or family.

@SumKindaMunster Strongly agree to both. We never shit talk each other to even close friends and we are very good about validating each others feelings.
