from The School of Life · host tscol

In relationships, honesty is key. Learn how to say what you truly feel by following this one simple rule. If you are looking for more rules to help guide your relationship, check out this article: https://www.theschooloflife.com/article/a-rule-to-help-your-relationship/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=The%20number%20one%20rule%20for%20healthy%20relationships The secret to maintaining a mature and respectful relationship is honest and open communication. Yet many of us hold back, suspecting that a frank confession of our feelings would risk upsetting or alienating our partner. The solution lies not in giving vent to anger, but in voicing the more vulnerable and sympathetic fears that lie beneath our complaints. Watch our film to learn the art of vulnerable communication – and discover what a healthy relationship truly looks like. Looking for more relationship advice?
