1. If you are meant to be together, it will be.
My mom always tells me not to force a relationship just to fix broken pieces together. I’ve encountered several bad relationships and mom would always be my counsellor. Like every other parent, they wouldn’t want their kid to be in a relationship that makes them unhappy and unmotivated. Don’t be in the that relationship if it doesn’t feel right. Love brings happiness and shapes you into a better individual. If you feel this way, you’re on the right track!
2. Don’t limit each other from having friends/ hanging out with friends.
This also means giving each other’s space. There’s no point controlling your boyfriend/ husband, because it wouldn't benefit each other. Men talks are important, just like how Ladies talks work for us. There are some things that men deal with differently which ladies would definitely not able to relate! (They need advice and suggestions from their bros too). This helps the couple to unwind from hectic work stress, and enable them to have a healthy social life. In the long run, this will benefit both couples as they are still connected with friends and what's more, your social life may bring you more opportunities too. Well, you would need supportive and reliable partners’ right? Don’t limit each other from hanging out with their friends!
3. Quality time together is necessary.
My mom always spends quality time with my dad by going on trips together and hanging out in a bar together during on weekends. She always tells we should not always think about work, but a healthy relationship requires a couple to spend quality time together. For many women, taking care of their children and family are of utmost importance. Yes, parents are responsible taking care their little one, why not take some time off to spend quality time as a couple without distractions sometimes?
4. Choose your battles wisely.
One piece of advice that comes to mind from my mom: Choose your battles. Some things are worth getting upset about, but most are not, and is unnecessary to have a quarrel over it. Argue over the little things and you’ll find yourself arguing endlessly. Little things pop up all day long, it takes a toll on us over time.
Love, Priscilla♥
