HELPFUL RELATIONSHIP ADVICE

These are some really useful relationship advice...

1. “Admit when you’re wrong, shut up when you’re right.”

2. “Date someone for a year before taking the next step, whether that be moving in together or getting engaged. People change with the seasons.”

3. “You are not in a movie, you are a real person — don’t expect other people to treat you like you’re always the star.”

4. “Don’t fight about money because after you’ve fought and maybe said mean things to each other, the amount of money in the bank will be the same. “

5. “Have separate checking accounts!”

(“A couple should have a joint account for all household bills, but they should have their own accounts for personal expenses. As long as all the bills are paid and some money is going into a savings account, they should each have a little money to spend as they please.”)

6. “Don’t marry someone you don’t want your children to be.”

7. “If you’re upset about something that won’t matter in five years, you should not be upset about it.”

8. “When you disagree, stick to the issue at hand. Don’t drag up old fights, old flames, or old issues.”

9. “Always sleep in the same bed, no matter how angry.”

10. “How do you know when it’s over? When you feel more in love with your memories than with the person in front of you.”

11. “Thank them for everything, even for the little things they do.”29. “Remember that the way you want to be loved is not always the same way that your partner does.”

12. “Talk to each other. Talk about silly things, about serious topics, about anything and everything under the sun.”

13. ‘Always remember the beginning.'

14. “Fight like you’re both siblings, tend and tidy like parents, challenge ideas like strangers, laugh like best friends, and love and forgive like long-lost partners.”

15. Love yourself and every other thing will fall into place.
