Stop Playing Games

Most relationships begin with those unspoken rules about gaming. I can tell you this, but not that. We can do this now, and then that later. We can talk about this, but this is off guards. Here's a little truth, but here's a whole lot of lies. There's a bit of confidence, and here's a little. There's no wonder most relationships don't make it to the marriage stage.

Games are played by insecure men and women who are afraid no one will love them for who they really are. Don't start your relationship by playing games. Go in with your cards on the table, and I promise you that later on, you'll be happy you did.

Watch Your Associations

Did you know we have a tendency to date what we're around most, even if our intentions are anything but? Did you know that your friendships determine at least 30 percent of the success of your relationships?

Be careful of your friendships. Make sure they grow as you grow. Otherwise, you'll find that as you transition for marriage, those around you won't and will present challenges when it comes to your own transition.
