You need to take things more slowly in your relationships. Any impatience you show could only create more stress today, so try to let things unfold at their own pace. Don’t try to rush ahead of people who are lagging behind. You need to slow down and stay with them. There could be too many details for them to take care of right away, so you should just wait while they catch up. Keep yourself busy until they call you to ask what the next step should be.

Opportunities for fun and romance are all around you, but you have to know where to look for them! Your friends can certainly help you find (and enjoy) the good times.

There’s no formula for a perfect relationship. This isn’t algebra, you know. You and your partner have to figure out what the variables are through a system of trial and error. Go easy on yourself.

The big picture is actually quite calming. That’s because it puts your financial situation in perspective. When things are out of your hands, it’s a lot easier to stay calm.
