1. Communication and clarity. Communication is one of the most important things that you need to have to maintain a healthy relationship. Make sure you communicate don't ignore emotions even small ones. If you ignore them over time they will build up, and it can actually cause you to subconsciously start to resent them because of these things kept bottled up. For example if they are talking to you a certain way, don't ignore it, speak up and say something like, "Hey, I don't like when you talk to me like that, could you please not do that?"
2. Love from the mind not just the heart! Most people actually aren't in love, they are in love with the idea of being loved. When someone tells you they love you Oxycontin and Serotonin are released into the body immediately. If you keep on going back and revisiting that phrase "I love you" those chemicals will continuously be released which is why you feel "love".
3. Trust This is a big one, if you don't trust your partner you will constantly feel anxiety, and thoughts of worry. It's not only toxic to you but your partner as well, they constantly will have to defend themselves against thoughts, feelings, and accusations that you may have against them. Lack of trust can be a very toxic relationship!
