Home is your refuge from the rest of the world, so if there are problems in that area, taking care of those issues is your first priority! If something needs to be repaired, make all the phone calls and arrangements to get things on the mend. If the problems are more a matter of emotions or relationship troubles, start a conversation with the person who needs to hear what you think. Get a dialogue going and find out what you both need to get along.

Think of your dating life as a buffet table. You don’t want to just load up on rice and pasta, right? How boring that would be! No, you want to sample a little of everything while you’ve got the chance.

Okay, so someone caught you and your partner talking baby talk to each other. Laugh it off. Every couple has ways of relating that can look downright odd to the outside world. It’s called having character. And fun.

Going out to eat is costing you more than you realize. If you added up the checks from the times you’ve needed a plate of food in front of you to socialize, you’d willingly put yourself on a strict diet. No need to be draconian about either your caloric intake or your spending. Both in moderation suit your budget.
