Riteish put respect first, and said it needs to hold even in the middle of an argument, because once it slips, the damage stays visible, much like a crack in a plate. His second rule was to put your partner’s needs above your own. The third was humour, which he said “helps lighten the mood and keeps things in perspective.” Coming from someone who has built a career on comedy, it’s not surprising, but the placement is telling: humour sits right next to respect and selflessness, not below them.
