Listen with Your Heart and Not Your Mind
When you speak with your friend or significant other, listen up closely. A person will tell you exactly how to treat them. They will tell you exactly how to make them happy and what will please them. Practice listening to understand, instead of listening to respond.
Learn to Give Unconditionally

Realize the fleetingness of time. Your vow to be present and actually show up for a moment or a conversation should be recognized by the other person. .
