admin I am 17 years old and I have been in a relationship with my partner for 9 months.
What advice can you give me to keep it afloat and make it last? Experience not nessicary 
Wisdom comes from all walks.
If you get into fights, talk about them…don’t shout and slam doors and walk out.
If you disagree on things, try to compromise.
Don’t feel the need to rush into sex, wait until you both are ready.
And last, remember that hard times will come but if you work through them together then it builds the relationship.
Do NOT “Follow your heart and do what seems right at the time.”
This can lead to a world of hurt, just think of consequences that can come from your actions.
