Tips To Get Through The First Year Of A Relationship

'Cosmopolitan' has come out with a bunch of tips on how to get through the first year of a relationship.  Seems like if you need tips the first year, you might not be on the right track.  It's like, if you're already having problems, the one you're with may not be 'the one' for you.  If you are having problems, but you do feel as though the relationship is worth the work, here are tips according to Cosmo.

1.  Pick fights about things that really matter.

2.  Be nice, kind, generous and compliment your significant other.

3.  Spend time with your friends.  Sometimes in the beginning, couples only want to hang out with each other.  Don't fall into that trap.  Be with your friends.

4.  Go on dates.

5.  Share new experiences.  Something as simple as trying a new food or drink for the first time, do something new together.

6.  Don't meet all of their friends at one time.  And don't have them over all the time.  Moderation is the key here.

7.   When something really matters to you, say it.

8.  Don't just tell your friends about the bad parts of your relationship, spread the word about the good also.

9.  Don't snoop.

10.  When you are wrong...apologize!
