#10 Solve Arguments Peacefully
During times of conflict, keep your voice calm and your demeanor steady. You will reach a better place much quicker than if you let your emotions take the lead.
#9 Spend Quality Time Together
Regardless of what kind of relationship you have, quality time spent together can strengthen it.
 #8 Help Each Other Grow
Support each other to change and do new things, achieve goals and dreams.
#7 Trust Each Other
Trust is one of the most important words in a relationship. It sets boundaries and limitations.
#6 Respect Each Other
Respect is different than trust. You both are different individuals. You don't have to agree, but you do need to respect each other's choices in life.
#5 Don't be 'Fair-Weathered'
Be there when the going gets tough.
#4 Don't Compete With Them
The point of being in a relationship is to strengthen each other, not compete with them just to make them feel inferior to you.
#3 Listen
Paying attention; really listen. It is a priceless gift.
#2 Pray for each other
Whatever prayer means for you, let it be a gift to those you are in relationship with.
#1 Keep Realistic Expectations
Both of you are human and you need to keep expectations realistic. As long as a firm grip on reality is kept, even the most challenging relationship can thrive.
