Ask.

If there is something you need or want, ask for it. Avoid demanding for it or not voicing it.

Negotiate.

Be prepared to offer you partner something in return for them to give you what you want. It must be a balance. Both must feel they are benefiting from the relationship.

Educate.

Don’t wait for your partner to help you. Instead, show them how they can help you.

Self-monitor.

Monitor what you are doing that is working or inhibiting the relationship.

Reinforce.

Always reinforce efforts and accomplishments of your partner.
