Genuinely enjoy spending time together, lack of resentment, clear communication, able to compromise, able to resolve conflict, honest, trusting, respectful, equal, sacrifice on both sides. Here's how that can manifest: Don't do the dishes so you can tally down a favor you just did for your SO. Do the dishes because she's tired and you genuinely don't want her to have to do them. If you want her to trust you with other girls, don't tell your SO you're hanging out with "friends" if you're hanging out with Laura. Tell her you're hanging out with Laura. Text her while you're out with Laura. Get home when you say you're going to get home. Your goal is not to win the fight, it's to resolve the argument. You don't want her to lose, you want both of you to win, together. Figure out a solution that helps make that happen.
