Significant Other Saturday is all about providing you with relationship advice, venting and us answering your questions!

Amanda's 10 do's and don'ts in a relationship....

1. Never go to bed angry. No matter how pissed off you are it's always better to resolve your issue before falling asleep and waking up pissed off.
2. Never EVER bring up the ex unless it's a baby mama/daddy and it's an important conversation.
3. Always tell your significant other that you are proud of them. Even if its " hey honey, I'm so proud of you for not riding on the bumper of that guys car when he cut you off!"
4. Always compliment your significant other. The smallest thing can make their day. Try saying "Those jeans really make your butt look nice" or "You smell good."
5. Always be honest. Yes this may seem like a tricky one but there's different ways to be honest. The rude way and the polite way. If your SO asks "do I look ugly today" there's 2 ways to respond... The rude way " Unfortunately yes, but blame your mother." or The polite way "I think you're handsome/beautiful even when you are at your worst."
6. Never tell your SO that they can't do something. Telling people you can't is like saying "hey, I double dog dare you to run into traffic blindfolded or i'll shoot you." If there is something you don't want them to do rephrase the way you say it. For example instead of saying "No you can't buy a motorcycle." say "I would rather you not buy that and hurt yourself. Plus is that really financial responsible right now?"
7. Never EVER compare your SO to anyone, Famous or not don't do it! Comparison at the time can seem innocent or playful but really all it does is make the other person jealous and angry.
8. Never say "I hate you" or "I regret ever dating/marring  you" when in a fight. This my friends will come back to bight you in the butt later on. Once those words are said they can not be taken back no matter how much butt kissing you do. So never say them, ever!
9. Always ask for your SO's advice whether you need it or not! Asking for advice make's the other person feel important in your life. The simple "I need your advice, which shirt looks better with these pants?" will work.
10. Always treat your SO with respect. Would you like to be put down and called a lot of nasty names? No, most likely not. It's the golden rule effect.

I hope these can help your relationship blossom and not wilt! Next week I'll have more Do's and Don'ts for you love birds!
