On finding her perfect match in Terrance.
She knew early on that Terrance was marriage material. Even sharing with her sister that, "He is the type of guy you marry" not realizing that one day he would be HER Husband. She had also made up her mind that long distance relationships would not work because he lived in Michigan and she resided in Atlanta.
Now married and quarantined they both live for Walmart runs and spend their days enjoying each others company and working nonstop.
Both Courtney Larisa and Terrance have given 5 Great Tips on How to Keep New Love Strong during this time.
1. Communication is key - Listening to each other and internalizing what your partner is saying. Pause and listen - Allow your partner to explain. This will keep any misconceptions and misunderstandings from occurring. We all come from different backgrounds so we have to listen to understand.
2. Transparency - Be Open and Honest with each other. Be yourself from the beginning. Don't send your representative. Be authentic.
3 and 4. Protect and Serve - Protect each other mentally - it goes a long way and trust is everything. Serve each other - Keep it balanced, give to your partner as much as you take. Learn your partner so you can serve them.
5. Don't be afraid. Even though you have been through things open up and trust. If someone proves themselves, allow them to be there. Allow yourself to be loved.
