Here are ten relationship truths we believe every woman needs to hear:
#1. You’re beautiful, but don’t let people fall in love with you for your looks. Prioritizing superficial qualities leads to superficial relationships. This goes for you, too. Don’t get distracted by physical qualities. Looks are temporary; character is forever.

#2. You have to be the right person to find the right person. Before you focus on what you want in a romantic partner, focus on your own development. Relationship success isn’t about finding any partner; it’s about finding the right partner for you. Know who you are, love who you are, and be confident in who you are. She’s pretty amazing.
#3. Chasing perfection is a trap. Don’t be too hard on yourself or others. Focus on progress, not perfection. You can have anything when finding a romantic partner, but it’s almost impossible to get everything. Prioritize what’s important.
#4. Every relationship problem has the same initial solution: Communication. It’s the best way to keep small problems small and solvable.
#5. Never hide, minimize, or otherwise sacrifice your personality and identity. Anyone who truly cares for you will authentically love you for who you are and not try to change you. Don’t trade who you are for someone to be with.
#6. Don’t expect someone to be right for you once they change. The fact is, people don’t change much. What you see is generally what you get. Don’t think, “I can change them.” You want a partner who is your equal, not a fixer-upper project.
#7. Don’t use how someone feels about you to decide how you feel about them. When a person likes you, it feels good, but it isn’t impressive or unique. It’s expected. You’re awesome. They’re not the first person to like you, and they won’t be the last. Instead of wondering, “Do they like me?” ask yourself, “Are they good for me?”
#8. Relationships require sacrifices. However, those sacrifices should be mutual and minor. The right person won’t require you to give up too much, and you won’t need to ask too much from them.
#9. The best partners support your aspirations and your continual development. Find someone who will push you out of your comfort zone and nurture all the ways you want to grow.
#10. Long-term relationship happiness relies on compatibility. Your romantic partner should be your best friend. They should be understanding, easy to talk to, caring, supportive, fun, respectful, and kind. Don’t accept anything less.
