What are the benefits of healthy competition in a relationship?

Cupid’s Advice:

There’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition in your relationship.  Here’s why:

1. Fun: Having a little competition in a relationship, whether it’s with sports or even a board game, brings you both back to a time when things weren’t so seriously in your life.  And guys, don’t let the girls win on purpose!  It’s so much more fun to truly compete.

2. Keeps you on your toes: Competition can spice things up a bit.  It adds some excitement to the boring routine of going on romantic dates and allows the two of you to interact in a new way.

3. Shows a different side: When people are participating in a game, sport or contest, they tend to act differently than when they are in a relaxed environment on a date.  It’s nice to see a different side of the person you’re involved with, whether it’s true passion or simply getting into the spirit of competition.
