Love Starts with Self-Love: Before you can truly love someone else, you must first love and accept yourself. Self-awareness and self-compassion are foundational to healthy relationships.
Understand Different Love Languages: Recognize that people express and receive love in different ways. Understanding your own love language and that of your partner can improve communication and connection.
Communication is Key: Open, honest, and empathetic communication is essential for building and maintaining strong relationships. Practice active listening and express your feelings and needs clearly.
Prioritize Quality Time: Spending quality time together strengthens your bond and creates shared experiences. Make time for each other despite busy schedules.
Set Healthy Boundaries: Establish and respect boundaries within the relationship. Boundaries help maintain individuality and prevent resentment and misunderstandings.
Practice Forgiveness: Holding onto grudges can damage relationships. Learn to forgive and let go of past hurts to move forward together positively.
Embrace Vulnerability: Being vulnerable fosters intimacy and trust. Share your fears, hopes, and dreams with your partner to deepen your connection.
Manage Conflicts Constructively: Disagreements are natural in any relationship. Address conflicts with a problem-solving mindset, focusing on understanding each other's perspectives and finding mutually beneficial solutions.
Grow Together: Support each other's personal growth and development. Encourage your partner's goals and dreams, and celebrate their successes.
Letting Go with Grace: Sometimes, letting go of a relationship is necessary for personal well-being. Learn to let go gracefully, with gratitude for the lessons learned and the experiences shared.

Nobody sits us down and teaches us how to love. So we’re often thrown into relationships with nothing but romance movies and pop culture to help us muddle through. Until now.

He shares insights on how to win or lose together, how to define love, and why you don’t break in a break-up. Inspired by Vedic wisdom and modern science, he tackles the entire relationship cycle, from first dates to moving in together to breaking up and starting over. And he shows us how to avoid falling for false promises and unfulfilling partners.
By living Jay Shetty’s eight rules, we can all love ourselves, our partner, and the world better than we ever thought possible.
