4. Love hurts: Betrayal hurts, pain hurts, heartbreak hurts, but love is the one thing that should make you feel good. A lot of people repeat the “love hurts” mantra to themselves to justify being in a hurtful relationship. True love should never bring about pain and despair. Yes, there will be stormy waters, but true love should be the only light during this time.

5. Love is blind: Finding someone you love should never be a decision to be made blindly. You cannot go through the true challenges of any relationship if you entered into it blindly.

5. Money does not matter: Money is never everything, but it sure matters. You cannot have a strong relationship without having some sort of financial stability. You might not have it all, but in a relationship, you have to both be content with where you are with the belief that things can and will get better. Pretending money is not an issue will only lead to each of you feeling discontent and not being able to discuss it or find a solution.

6. True love is forever: There will be times in your relationship when you are not even sure you love your partner. There will be times you feel numb or unhappy with them but this does not mean what you have is not true love. Love ebbs and flows. Sometimes you love them so much you cannot imagine life without them, and sometimes, you just want  to run away, but underneath it all, you both share a bond that will never be broken. That is love.

7. Follow your heart: Your heart is important in determining what you feel for someone but you should not make all your love decisions based on how you feel. It is important that you use your brains and intuition to also determine whether or not someone will make the best fit for you.
