What is the best awareness tool that can be used
to reduce the risk of being abused in an intimate partner relationship?

The second answer to my essential question is
having good communication.

Good communication can help in preventing the
different types of abuse because when a couple has good communication they can
tell each other when something is bothering one another and try to figure out a
way to fix it. With good communication, both partners feel equal because they
can express themselves for who they are and how they feel without the other
being angry, or one person feeling superior. Also, with good communication, a
couple feels comfortable with telling each other what they feel comfortable
with or things they are not okay with doing. Talking positively about issues
can help prevent fights from escalating, which in abusive relationships, lead
to danger.

I plan to continue my study for answer 2 by doing
more research on communication and healthy couples. I think this is a good
answer because a lot of characteristics abusers have, have to do with power and
control and by having good communication, each partner in the relationship
feels equal and each partners feelings matter. No one is more important.
