Before we jet set to France, we decided to take a relationship quiz to see how much we really know about each other. In this episode, we discuss whether your romantic partner should be your best friend, keeping the spark alive, and the traditional marriage vow that we're ditching altogether.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• You don't necessarily have to have breathless, fiery passion in your relationship 24/7, but you should never let things go cold. Remember to be affectionate with each other often, share your dreams and goals with each other, and prioritize quality time even when life gets stressful.

• Successful couples know how to argue and handle conflict respectfully and swiftly. It's okay to take time to process individually before you come together to discuss, but never sweep things under the rug entirely.

• While the old saying goes "til' death do us part," marriage should never feel like a death sentence. Your marriage should be an absolute joy to be a part of, and if it's no longer serving you and your partner, then that's an honest discussion you should have.
