What advice would have given your younger self about relationships that would have made them easier for you (and your partner)?

For me, it's to expect the best. You'll have plenty of time dealing with the bad outcome when or if the bad outcome happens.

I prepared myself far too soon and helped contribute to the bad outcome way too many times!

Never stop dating your partner.  Tired, lazy, low on spending $... find a way to take your wife out on a date. Or have a home dinner date. Dress up, spray on some cologne and remind her why she married you!

Being right isn't as important as being loved. Be easy on your wife/gf and it will make it easier for everyone involved. If you're one of the lucky ones, she will follow your lead and harmony awaits.
