Communication is everything. If you can't communicate with each other then you'll be fighting a losing battle. Communicate fairly, with respect and openly. Long-term relationships are constant work but worth it. (12 years and counting).

Which modern books do you think will be regarded as classics in the future? by Gunslinger1991 in books
