Dating S.M.A.R.T. Can Save Your Life
By Nina Atwood
How important is it to Date Smart? If how you date determines the quality of your future marriage (and I firmly believe that it does), then dating smart may save your life. One new study found that high negative conflict marriages put people at significant risk for cardiovascular disease.
How you date is remarkably parallel to how you relate. If you date with no hidden agendas and with the intention to find a soul mate to share your life, you begin setting the stage for an open, honest relationship based on commitment and trust. If you date with the goal of finding someone who shares your values, you move away from people who are not like-minded and draw closer to those who are on the same page about the basics of life.
If you date with the intent to create a loving, nurturing relationship, you will find yourself in a loving, nurturing marriage, one in which you can express yourself and expect the same level of self-expression from your partner. How you date is how you relate, and how you relate impacts your overall, long-term health.
