About this episode

We’ve all been told the important stuff that helps a relationship work in the long-run:


  • Kindness 
  • Respect
  • Clear and compassionate communication


But there are also other little skills that make a big difference. Things that our partner may not even be able to vocalize, but that deep down in their subconscious they are eternally grateful for and that keep the relationship working and make us No.1 in their books. 


Cultivate these skills and your name will be on its way to becoming an ill-judged impulsive tattoo on someone’s bicep in no time...
