7. Nicknames that you and your partner enjoy

Partners should occasionally establish boundaries so that they are aware that the names they offer each other are respectful and sound affectionate rather than bullying. Nicknames can make partners feel uncomfortable and ashamed, thus their spouse should not insist on using them.

8. Family-related discussions

If one spouse is uncomfortable, they are not obligated to discuss everything about the other’s family. Conversations about their respective families should be kept to a minimum to ensure that both couples are comfortable discussing and listening.

9. The type of commitment you and your partner want to make

In every relationship or marriage, it should be obvious what amount of devotion one partner expects from the other. If one partner wants a monogamous relationship and the other wants an open marriage, there should be a line where they both agree and the relationship can continue to work.

10. The extent to which information is shared

Sure, sharing is caring, but there must be limits when it comes to how much you can share. Both partners should make certain that they are only communicating what they are comfortable with, and neither should the other.

11. Personal time

Partners should respect each other’s personal space and give each other me-time. Couples need me-time to re-energize and keep their relationship strong.

12. Dealing with fights

In every relationship, how fights should be handled must be decided in advance. The couples should be aware of each other’s apology language and strive together to improve the relationship.
