Takeaways We are often pressured by society to make one right choice in partners. Choosing the right person is not always straightforward and its ok that relationships don’t last forever Relationships are about learning through experience. You can’t predict what someone will bring to a relationship until you’re in it. It often takes at least two years to truly know someone. Emotional intelligence plays a key role in relationship choices. The idea of ’the right choice’ can be misleading. Each relationship teaches us something new about ourselves. Personal growth is a continuous journey in relationships. Understanding a partner requires time and shared experiences. ************************************************* Would you like to join Samantha Fox on Unbox Yourself®? ⁠Click here to find the application to the show⁠ And remember its never too late to Unbox Yourself®!
