BY A STAFF REPORTER

Always think of your relationship as a boat on a rough sea. Storms will happen; winds will blow where they will, but you need to overcome them and keep sailing. The key mantra in life is to do your bit to learn and grow, treat yourself with kindness, ask for what you need, be responsive, be playful, forgive, make repairs whenever necessary, and stay hopeful.
