Being able to repair after a conflict arises within a relationship
Approaching all things with grace and openness
Loving-kindness and looking at the intention behind all of our actions
Not skipping over the relational to get to the ultimate

"To solidify and harden another person and another person's reactions and voice, there's no more freshness and the relationship can get very stale and predictable. That's oftentimes when resentment comes up. Part of not knowing is being able to open to what's really there, who the person really is right in this moment." – Kimberly Brown
