How to make up after a fight ?

Would you rather always be right or be in a good relationship?

Here's How:

1. Don't go to bed angry. It's best to agree on this approach before you get into an argument.

2. Make a friendly gesture. If you make the initial overture, it's likely it will be reciprocated.

3. Apologize for something you did in the fight. This opens the door for a real discussion.

4. Call a truce. Agree to think about the problem and discuss it calmly later.

5. Don't give your partner the silent treatment. Ignoring someone only distances you further.

6. Accept your partner's apology.

7. Make a love effort. It's not enough to apologize, but quality time helps you focus on what's great about the relationship as opposed to the fight.

TIPS:
Give someone the space they need to open up.
Learn the fine art of compromise.
Don't foster jealousy. Invite him/her to go out with your friends.
