  • Avoid name-calling, sarcasm, or dismissive behaviour.
  • Respect each other’s time, space, and individuality.

🕊️ 3. Practice Forgiveness

  • Everyone makes mistakes. Learn to forgive and move forward.
  • Address issues calmly rather than holding grudges.

⏳ 4. Spend Quality Time Together

❤️ 6. Express Appreciation

🛠️ 7. Resolve Conflicts Constructively

  • Take breaks if emotions run high, and return to the conversation later.
