Cupids Advice

It’s difficult when your partner has big dreams and passions that may be getting in the way of your relationship, but Cupid has some advice on how you can help your partner focus:

1. Be supportive: Even if you believe your partner’s passions are absolutely absurd, supporting him or her shows that you care and are willing to be there no matter what.

2. Provide constructive criticism: If your boo truly loves you, he’ll care about your opinion and what you have to say. If you try to give him direction or guidance ad explain how he should maybe focus on one thing at a time, he should respect your opinion.

3. Show him what he’s good at: Show your beau what he’s really talented at, whether it be art, music, writing or anything else. If he sees that he can truly exceed at one thing, he’ll probably stick with it and focus all of his energy one way.
