Giving in might not be something you really feel like doing today, but the pain you feel in letting go of one of your hopes will be a lot smaller than the amount of pain you’ll feel if you fight to the end for everything you want. Compromise is an enlightened choice for you right now. Not only will it end the growing tensions, but it will also show the other person that you’re a lot more mature than they are. And then next time you bump heads, you’ll definitely have the upper hand.

If a certain romantic possibility doesn’t have you totally excited, just stop and rethink it all the way through. If it doesn’t feel right, move on as politely as possible and see what happens next.

Grand gestures are nice, but it’s the little things your partner does for you that matter most. Anyone who will fold your laundry or pick you up at the airport at 3 a.m. is a real keeper!

Sometimes holding still is actually making progress, especially if your gains have been built on a house of cards. You’re learning all about how to build a real foundation, financial and otherwise. The beauty of the lesson learned will show up in the future. For now, appreciate the smaller things you already have.
