Cupid’s Advice:
It’s important set the precedent for a healthy relationship from the beginning, not just when it comes to marriage, but also when it comes to dating. Cupid has some tips:
1. Don’t sweat the small stuff: Fighting over silly things is a waste of time and can only put an unnecessary riff between you and your partner.
2. Speak up: If your partner says or does something you don’t like, tell them from the beginning that their behavior is unacceptable.
3. Be their best friend: A perfect partner isn’t just a lover, but also a best friend.
