one of the ways life improves as we get older

We get better at relationships.

One of the most significant skills gained with age is to employ what we have learned about ourselves in how we conduct our relationships.

We gain knowledge and an appreciation of ourselves.

We are more open about our weaknesses with our intimate partners
as, we try not to repeat the same mistakes that we have made in the past.

We appreciate the loyalty of true friends more and more.

We have less patience for superficial relationships.
