Cupid’s Advice:

Although Reba and Narvel’s celebrity marriage lasted over 26 years, it seems as if their relationship and love life didn’t have what it takes to last. Cupid has some tips so that you and your partner will stick together:

1. Keeping it fun: It is often when a couple falls into a routine that the relationship becomes boring and lacks luster. Having spontaneous date nights will keep the relationship fresh and exciting.
