John Gottman (author of 7 Principles of making a marriage work) describes masters of relationships as kind, generous, affectionate, sense of humour, having perspective, considerate of their partners feelings, communicating and repair those times they hurt their partners.

Another fantastic TED talk from Brené Brown
A fantastic book by researcher & story teller Brené Brown
Ever wonder why what you say is taken the wrong way or more you talk the worse it gets ?
Well Professor Osmo Antero Wiio documented what he observed when it came to communicating (Wiio’s Laws) and to put it in a nutshell with his first law.
“Communication usually fails, except by accident”.
Sounds a bit pessimistic doesn’t it ?
Brené Brown describes herself as a researcher & story teller. Her Power of Vulnerability TED talk is an absolutely must see for those interested in or are trying to understand some of the dynamics of vulnerability and shame .
