7 things you should give up to gain a great relationship
1. Comparisons to old relationships
The more you hold onto this, the less you’ll see about your current relationship
2. Alcohol
This doesn’t apply to all, but it applies to some. The way some people carry themselves when drinking can be a problem.
3. Some of your friends
Not all of your friends are good for your relationship. This is a tough one, but sometimes it is a necessary one.
4. Bad spending habits
Money problems are a big contributor to the high divorce rates. Alternating your spending habits and getting rid of the bad ones is a must.
5. Secrets
At some point to crossover from good to great in a relationship, there has to be some transparency. If you don’t feel comfortable sharing what is closest to you, then you may need to wait.
6. Your ideas of how relationships work
Coming into a relationship with certain expectations and thinking it is supposed to go just like that is a set up for failure. Scrap your old ideas and create new ones together.
7. Anything unimportant that will separate the two of you
We allow many things to come between us. Some are silly, some are serious. If it’s not that important and it keeps you from going good to great, then give it up.
