C1:  CHEMISTRY

The easiest thing to do is to mistaken lust for love.  But when your eight weeks, eight months or eight years into your relationship, can you honestly say there’s an authentic connection.

Chemistry is simply what makes two people compatible – how do you relate to one another beyond the bedroom.  Chemistry creates the feeling called love and builds trust.  It exists when your spouse is physically present and attentive in your relationship. 

Want to get an idea if there’s chemistry?  Ask yourself:

*  Am I still physically attracted to my spouse?

*  Do I still flirt with your partner?

*  Is intimacy with my spouse satisfying and unforgivable?

*  Does my spouse remember my… favorite color or birthday?

C2:  CHEATING

C3:  CASH

The #1 reason why relationships end is because of financial hardships.  Avoid committing yourself to a relationship where you have no clue about your spouse’s principles about money.  Do they like to pay their bills? Do they save? Are they in debt?

You have to lay it out on the table and talk about finances head on.  Believe it or not, women will stay in a relationship for the money and the lifestyle it awards, even if it doesn't produce happiness.
