Dating Tip: Be independent before entering a relationship. It’s better when two people want each other more than they need each other.

Dating Tip: Be honest about your own flaws and shortcomings. For a relationship to last, you want someone to love you for the person you are.

Dating Tip: If you don’t understand something your partner wants or needs, ask them about it to get clarity. You can never communicate too much.

Dating Tip: Don’t expect your partner to fill your emotional holes, and don’t try to fill theirs. Help them to do it themselves, and ask for the same.

Dating Tip: Find a ritual and keep it alive. Whether it’s always kissing each other good night, or renewing your wedding vows every year.

Dating Tip: Try to keep things light sometimes, and learn to laugh together. Things don’t have to be serious and intense all the time.

Dating Tip: Communicate! Talking out the tough subjects such as money, fidelity and raising kids may not be what you consider fun, but it’ll be valuable.

Dating Tip: Each having your own lives is important. Maintain your own friendships and occasionally have a night out without your significant other.

Dating Tip: Don’t say something you will regret later, even in the heat of an argument. Don’t call your partner names or say intentionally hurtful things.

Dating Tip: Manage your anger. When things get really tough, take a break from the argument. Don’t initiate a discussion when you’re angry.
