  1. Become the best you now.

    Work hard in your chosen field and become an expert, regardless if you are a rocket scientist or a sanitation engineer. Skills you develop such as punctuality, working and playing well with others or seeing the job through will be just as important for your SO. The trick is transferring those skills to your personal life.

  2. Listen when they talk to you. Take their advice into consideration. Be patient with them when they screw up, they’re only human. Remember dates (birthday/anniversary/etc). Communication is key, know the limits of your relationships.

    There are a few others, like try to engage in their hobbies with them, even if you don’t usually. Go on dates even after you’re married. Don’t cheat. Trust your partner (no need to know where they are 24/7 or go through their phone, or trying to get them to stop being friends with someone, etc). Don’t judge.

  3. Develop your empathy, communication skills, listening skills, understanding, compassion, assertiveness, problem solving, conflict resolution skills, and get to know yourself well.

    Understand yourself so you have a basis to understand them and to help them understand you.

    Also get in the best physical shape and health that you can and maintain it. Ditto for mental and emotional health.
