Something else that is important in any relationship is communication. You have to be able to talk to each other. Work things out together, in other words, don't keep it bottled up.
When it comes to arguments, don't! Have a mutual agreement that if you get mad at each other, to separate for awhile, then sit down and talk it out. You'll get a lot further in resolving the issue calmly than you will in anger. I learned this with my first boyfriend and carried it into the next relationship.
