The main thing is to be myself. What I mean by that is, to be honest when called upon to express your feelings. The other thing is - maybe this should come first - to be a good listener. To close your mouth and to listen, and to be able to echo back what your partner says to you.

Michael FrantiIt's also hard for me to understand growing up not knowing where I came from. I searched for my parents - I started when I was twenty; I found both my mother and my father when I was twenty-two.

Michael FrantiI've been in those relationships. You go through years of your life and at a certain point you wake up and you go, god, what am I doing here?

You have to recognize the point at which you're not learning anymore, and be able to let it go.
