Key Pillars:

  • Communication: Openly and honestly expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs, and listening to the other person do the same.
  • Trust: Feeling safe and secure with the other person, believing they have your best interests at heart.
  • Boundaries: Understanding and respecting each other's limits and personal space.
  • Mutual Respect: Valuing each other's opinions and beliefs, even when they differ from your own.
