Being patient with yourself and your partner is key to helping very well with a depressed partner. They need help and don't always know what they want. Being patient with them will increase their trust in you to make them open up better.

Patience is a very important quality to display I agree. If you are not patient as the spouse of someone that is depressed, you might not help them in an effective way.

You have to remove blame 100% when it comes to dealing with someone who's battling with depression even if they made a mistake. It's the only way to stop them from thinking about suicide.
