It can be a quote or a single word, a link or just something you have learned from your own relationships. Advice only!
It is ok to not like the same things....it's important to dislike the same things
ReplyDeleteKaitlyn and Michael,
ReplyDeleteAlways talk about things, no matter how small or difficult they seem.
Never go to bed mad or with troubles on your mind.
Make sure to continue to make time for your relationship. It will be easy to get in the swing of life and forget the things that brought you together in the first place. Set aside time once a week for a date night (even if it's sitting together on the couch to watch your favorite show).
ReplyDeleteBuild and maintain trust and honesty. Keep your friendship strong, and have fun together- dont forget to play. Be mindful of ways in which you are different- how you handle conflict (silent treatment/wants to talk), want to handle free time (spontaneous/planner), need for social/alone time, need for physical affection, etc, and understand and honor each other. (These differences took is a few years to successfully navigate!)
ReplyDeleteLastly, if you have an opportunity to get a cheap vacation from looking at a time-share, don't do it. It’s never worth it.
