I started matchmaking via intuition at the age of 20, and since then, have coached thousands of singles of all ages at my Smart Dating Academy to find happy love. We are thrilled to have zero splits or divorces, keeping in mind most divorces happen within the first seven years of marriage. I'm about to celebrate 20 years with my husband in May.

Yes, easy. Not that kind of easy, but easy as in, "low drama." I hear all sorts of iterations of this: "I never knew a relationship could be so easy. It just works."

A good relationship or marriage requires work along the way, believe me, but the work shouldn't be hard — leaving you exhausted and spent. Easy is the word to think about, and if you can nod your head to that about your relationship, you're most likely in good shape. If you're dating, keep the word "easy" as your mantra and you won't go wrong!
