2. Sex




                Sex is a vital part of intimacy. You and your partner


                               might have different sexual needs.




               Maybe you want your partner to initiate contact in bed, while your partner

               wants to have sex more often.


               Talking about what turns you on and makes you feel loved can cut down

               on  the  amount  of  arguing  you  do  in  this  important  area  of  your


               relationship — in a way that feels good for both of you.






                            3. Shared responsibilities


               Sharing your home space with someone you love can be wonderful and

               fun, but it also means having to divide up the chores.



               Sometimes it might feel like one person in your relationship is doing all

               the work, so little things like unloading the dishwasher can come to seem

               like a big deal.




                 Like sex, your expectations about cleanliness won’t


                   necessarily be clear to each other until you take


                                      some time to talk about it.
