Khloe Kardashian says the key to a successful relationship is to "always have respect" for each other

She said: "I think with any relationship the key is to always have respect for one another. There are no winners in fighting. If you win, that means your partner loses, so that’s not really a win for you, is it? Be the one to change first. While it takes two to couple up, it takes only one to make things a whole lot better.

"No matter how old or new a relationship is, I believe in always praising your partner for the good that they bring and add to your life. It’s so easy to focus on the negative, but once you start criticising one another, it’s really hard to get out of that rut."

And the 33-year-old television personality also thinks it is important to keep some independence from your partner.

She added in a post on her website: "I think keeping your own circle of friends, along with your own hobbies and interests, will only make your relationship stronger, because you’re still doing your own thing."

It comes after Khloe admitted the long distance between her and Tristan can be "complicated" at times.

She explained: "Nobody says dating long distance is easy - I am so happy Tristan and I live together now! The extra miles can sometimes make many aspects frustrating. Things can get complicated - you might get sad and lonely at times. (Don’t worry, BTW, that’s totally normal!)

"However, being long distance also means you get to appreciate one another on a deeper level without the distractions of physical getting in the way And it makes simplest things - like holding hands, eating at the same table, feeling each other’s touch, taking a walk together, smelling their hair - the sweetest when you’re in the same city again.
