During and since the Covid-19 pandemic, people's thoughts were often centered around their relationship status. Some couples had to be around each other 24 hours a day throughout the quarantine period. Some realized how much they needed each other, and some realized the opposite.

A lot of people believe that love is the foundation of marriage. This isn’t a fairy tale. In reality, you should consider that you are together for "duty" to one another. Knowing what value you can bring to the relationship and whether that aligns with your partner's philosophy is paramount. Understanding how to embrace monotony, repetition, and sacrifice increases your chances of a healthy marriage.

Former POTUS John F. Kennedy, Jr. said it best, “Ask not what your country can do for you–ask what you can do for your country.” Make sure you give 110% in all aspects of your life and show the value you can add. If the relationship ends, you won't have any regrets. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling of “should’ve, could’ve, would've”. Time waits for no one. We all get 24 hours in a day. What are you doing with yours?
