6. Offering Emotional Support

Everyone has their ups and downs, but being there for your partner's downs is the most important. When they need a shoulder to lean on, be there for them! It's crucial that you learn how to be flexible too; do they need a listening ear, words of encouragement, or physical comfort?

8. Making Time for Her

Even when you're really busy with work or personal matters, always try to put in your best effort to make time for your partner.
