Answer to Question 1

Answer: Knowing yourselffor example, knowing how the strengths and challenges of your family history and personality affect the choices you make and how you respond to life emotionallyis key. Without this self-knowledge in place, you are more likely to make decisions and to react to experiences in ways that are not conscious and that may be harmful to the relationship. Another key is the ability to nurture yourself, because if you cannot meet your own needs, you're likely to make unreasonable demands on your partner, or alternatively, to nurture your partner to the exclusion of your own needs, a behavior that tends to build resentment. Self-nurturance is therefore one of the two personal qualities especially important in relationships. The other is accountabilitytakin g responsibility for your own actions.
