1. Communication is key to every great relationship.

This is something that will help both you and your partner to understand each other better. By that I mean understand their pet peevs, what the like to do for fun, what they are feeling and how to calm them down when you get into an argument.

2. Time Apart

Spending together is important, but also spending time apart is important. Being able to still "do you" is important, because being codependent can be unhealthy. This is because you yourself are no longer independent.

3. Appreciation

We all forget to tell each other how much we appreciate them for putting up with us. This is what most girls put on the internet with the caption "goals", most girls don't want that much maybe just some flowers along with a sweet note with it. And guys just want to hear that you believe in him, trust him, that you are still attracted to them.

4. Negatives and Positives

We focus all of our energy on the bad that has happen. So when you get asked how was your day you start off with the bad and gradually work your way the good, this is what we should fix. When you get asked " how was your day?" start with the good, because your partner is more then likely annoyed about hearing the drama that happened at work or school. This is because we all have that and when we come home we don't want to think about it anymore.

5. Take fight breaks

This is to allow you to settle down when things start to escalate. Giving you both time to think about what you are actually arguing about, give it about 10 minutes then continue the topic(s) so that there is closure.

6. Understand, not agree

You will not always agree on things, but to keep from arguing you must understand where your partner is coming from. This is more easy said then done. (I.e. you are talking about politics, you think that Bernie should win, but they think that Hillary should win instead of arguing over think why they think their candidate should win).

Chapter 2- Sexting Guidelines

The meaning of sexing is  is the sending or receiving of sexually explicit or sexually suggestive images, messages, or video via a cellphone or the Internet. Sexting is a way to get your partner aroused when you aren't together. Most couples nowadays do this. Typically the guy asks the girl for nudes and the girls (most of the time) feel pressured into.

Along with anything else there are dangers to sexting, the number one danger or worry of people is that their partner will save the picture and go show all their friends. If see a group of guys staring both at their phones and girl this typically indicates that someone leaked her "nudes" or vis-versa.

1. Emotional-once sent there is no going back, you feel as if you are walking down the school hall with no clothes on.

2. Legal- You can receive charges for Child Pornography. Along with being registered as a sex offender. This makes it look like your parents are inadequate to parent you, putting you foster care.

There are three types of dating violence:

1. Verbal and Emotional- This is where the abuser makes their partner feel less of person and they have no will to leave, because if they did they feel as if they can't be their own self anymore because they know who they are anymore. The abuser made them think they are nothing without them.

2. Physical

This could go both ways where the male is abusing the girl, making himself better about his "manhood". Then the female does this to "protect themselves". This includes punching, biting, slapping, etc,.
