To me, the key to a good relationship has to be communication. You have to understand each other, not in a "tell me what's wrong with you so you can shut up" way, but more of a "let me put myself in your shoes" kind of way. Listening is good, for starters. You always have to maintain a positive tunnel for information to flow through your ears. That was a shitty way to say it but that's the only way I can explain it. You can never be negative all the time or be quick to put the other person down for something they said you think is stupid. Women take everything very personally, although they say they don't, they really, really do. There's a way around the "watch what you say around her" part of the relationship that makes your point seem rather valuable to her than dismissive or mean.
In order to understand women, you can't think like a man or think like a woman. You have to act like a scientist and observe. Studying what a woman does or how they behave you learn how to act around a woman, not saying you have to be "fake", but I'm also telling you not to be "real" either. If there was a word for it I'd say it, but it's three AM and I'm writing out of my ass.
