4. Share your interests

It's easy to get so caught up in your own thing that you ignore your partner's pursuits. Razor Suleman, CEO of I Love Rewards, a Boston rewards and recognition business with $50 million in sales, tries to avoid that mistake. He joined his wife, Kari, a web developer, at a summit she needed to go to for work. "It was amazing that Razor took an interest in an event that I was excited to attend," she says. "It sparked a dialogue we would not have had otherwise."

4．分享你的興趣

因為過度關注自己手頭的事情，而忽略了對方的興趣所在，這是很多人都容易犯的毛病。位于美國波士頓的我愛獎勵公司（I Love Rewards）是一家員工獎勵服務公司，銷售額為5，000萬美元。公司的首席執行官瑞勒•蘇萊曼便是成功避免這個問題的典范。妻子卡麗是網頁開發工程師，當她因工作需要必須參加會議時，瑞勒便會陪同前往。卡麗說：“瑞勒對我喜歡參加的活動也感興趣，這真讓人開心。否則，我們就缺少了這樣的對話機會。”
