Give your partner the emotional support they need.

Emotional support is extremely important in any type of relationship, so be sure to give it.

1. Give credit to your partner.
   Studies show that when one partner asks for credit (e.g., saying, “I’m getting way better, you’ve got to admit it”), and the other partner does not give it, the relationship is more likely to end. However, when one partner asks for credit, and the other partner does give it (e.g., saying, “You’re right”), the couple is more likely to get married and stay married.
