JAKARTA - During this time, you may want your partner to be someone who is better, more understanding, and maybe even more romantic. But, you forget to look in the mirror yourself, are you already a good partner?

In order for a harmonious and lasting relationship, of course, joint efforts are needed to make it happen. Your partner will still be happy that you can always try to be a better person.

So, here are the things that you can improve from yourself to be a good partner.

Taking the time

Making time for each other in the midst of busyness is very important. Give him a simple surprise, for example, accompanying him to his activities, picking him up from work, making his favorite dish, asking for a date first, or just chatting on the phone to share today's activities. Couples must be happy to be given this kind of attention.

Improve communication

Many problems stem from poor communication patterns. In fact, by improving communication, you and your partner can fight less frequently. Despite the debate, everything was resolved peacefully and without drama. You can hold your ego in order to invite your partner to chat calmly when there is a problem. So there will be no more scolding because of trivial things.

More patient

To be a good partner, you can also practice patience. Keep your tone of voice, maintain your attitude, and don't get emotional easily when something is annoying. Because, with you can be more patient, many problems will actually be easier to solve. You become calmer and can digest every incident with a cool head.

Give support and trust

Getting support from a partner is fun, you know. This support can be anything, for example, when your partner is trying out a new hobby or trying to achieve a successful career. This also applies when your partner is in need of 'me time', for example, if you want to go out or have a vacation with just friends, then you give him freedom without suspicion and anxiety that your partner is lying.

Accept partner's strengths and weaknesses

Of course you also have to really accept the strengths and weaknesses of your partner. As long as it does not violate principles and is not negative, there is nothing wrong with being able to adapt and compromise so that you don't need to be exaggerated and always be a source of problems. By accepting all sides of your partner, your relationship will likely be long-lasting.
