Mr. lover lover...
interesting piece and topic. You touched on many important points. I am just going to add, that one of the ways I am trying to be a good fit for my wife is by improving my communication skills. I understand how important this is to the health of any relationship and I am working toward it.
In addition, one must also be kind and considerate. These are the pillars of love, without it you cannot be with a person for the long run or be your best around them.
Bro... Communication is really important. I've always known that I'm high up in my communication skills, but when it comes to my relationship, I've had to release so many things about how I communicate, especially when I'm about to say something that may come off as offensive when we are trying to contend with some level of misunderstanding in the relationship. Haha.
It's interesting to see the improvement after each tough conversation and we are getting better at it.
