What do you do if your family has concerns about your partner?
Cupid’s Advice:
Unfortunately, we can’t be compatible with everyone. But, it can be even more frustrating when you think you’ve found the perfect partner and your closest family members don’t agree. So, to help with the struggle, Cupid has come up with a few things you can do if your family has concerns about your partner:
1. Find common ground: Do your boyfriend and father share a passion for the NBA? Does your girlfriend share the same alma mater as your sister? It truly is a small world, and bringing up those common niches when your partner is around specific family members can get them talking and on the road to positive rapport and relationship building.

2. Present their latest accomplishments: Did your partner recently complete a tough project at work? Did they make a sale? What about an A on their Chemistry exam? Bringing up multiple and diverse accomplishments can show your family that your partner is successful and hard working in more than one aspect of his/her life. It can even send the signal that your partner has a bright future ahead of them.

3. Always leave on a good note: Make sure that the last impression your family has before you say “goodbye” for the evening is a good one. It’s important to have your family members thinking long after you left that you’ve made a great choice in a companion. So, think about bringing up your partner’s latest accomplishments a half hour before you reach for your coat.
