"HOW DO YOU RESPECT YOUR PARTNER? R – Take Responsibility for your actions – they’re your choice. Ask yourself, “If I was the kind of human I’d really like to be, what would I do?” Ask them how you can communicate better, and really take it on board. Do what you can to improve things for everyone. E – Treat your partner as an Equal. They are their own person, as important as you are. You don’t need to have all the power – make decisions with them, not for them. S – Say how you feel. Share stuff, even the scary stuff. Talk about your worries and how you’d like things to turn out. Start sentences with “I feel…”. P – Listen to their Point of view. Value their views as much as you value your own. Think about what they say and take it on board. Ask questions; you’ll learn new stuff. E – Empathize with your partner. Imagine how it feels to be in their shoes, and if you can do something to make it better, then do it. C – Challenge set beliefs. Question assumptions about how humans have to act, and what media or advertising keep reinforcing. Find your own way and let each person choose how they’ll behave. T – Tell them you appreciate what they do for you. Notice how they improve your life and makes you a better person. Tell them."
