The competitive nature of the game will bring a new edge to your relationship.

It’ll show your partner you’re not just cute and sweet, but driven and passionate too! But just make sure both of you follow through on your goals.

#5 Talk about the past. The past is something most of us avoid talking about. But just because we don’t talk about it doesn’t mean your partner doesn’t think about it.
