For me, both parties need to have a will of understanding each other. Thats why its important to share what we expected from each other from the beginning of relationship. I think, its a must to letting them know what kind of person we are, the traits and personality we had, our likes and dislikes and by that, they will have a clear vision about what are they dealing with in the future. After knowing each others better, its important to discuss what we can do for each other so we can be compatible. Always spare a time to sit together to talk about the relationship itself, and remember that a feedback from our partner is important.
