in any long-term relationship is kindness.
After decades of life experience, many people become less interested in unnecessary drama and more interested in feeling comfortable with the person beside them.
Kindness can appear in very ordinary ways.
It can mean listening when someone is having a difficult day.
It can mean remembering something important that your partner mentioned.
It can mean showing appreciation rather than taking someone for granted.
It can mean being patient when your partner makes a mistake.
It can mean treating waiters, relatives, neighbors, friends, and strangers
