Remove Ego:

Ego spoils good relationships. To maintain a better relationship, keep the ego far away from yourself. Why should I talk first, why should I always think of a relationship? Removing these kinds of things from inside itself is necessary to maintain a strong relationship. It is always important to be 'I' not 'we' in relationships. So who is taking the initiative first, it does not matter. Only the relationship matters.

Bring a feeling of sacrifice to make strong relationships:

The spirit of sacrifice will always bring you closer to each other. If you think of your partner before you, that is, before your own happiness, happiness of your partner will be necessary for you, then your relationship will be more beautiful and misunderstandings are not available in such strong relationships.

Talk to each other:

If there is no agreement between you about something, then give time to each other. Listen to your partner and explain yourself with love. What can happen together, they cannot talk or remain silent. Therefore, talk to each other on that subject, because by sitting in silence, only misunderstandings can make a place in the relationship.


Listen intently.

Be completely attentive. Most misunderstandings happen because we don’t listen fully to what is being said. For text contents like emails, carefully read every word. The reason being, if we have other thoughts in our mind, they can disturb and disable us to completely or correctly understand what the other person really wants to convey. And, sometimes there’s more to what is being said. You need to understand the hidden real meaning behind the words.

Observe carefully.

Ensure you don’t miss any visual cue that can add to the information conveyed and make it complete. Watch how you convey your words. Sometimes things sound bad but they look fine, and vice versa. Try to know the intent of the person through these cues.
The intent is generally more important than the content.We often get upset by the tone used, and presume it is being used sarcastically, even though if it wasn’t Keep your mind open and clear, and don’t make presumptions.
Verify your thoughts before you give them the right to influence you.

You should clarify your doubts, if any, there and then. Do this before the worm of misunderstanding gets the chance to sneak in and breed in your mind.
Verify if the body language of the person, facial expressions, and other factors go with what is being conveyed, and the way you perceive it. Try to confirm if the perception formed in your mind correctly relates to the cues presented. Resist the temptation to react.
