Practicality is learning to make wise decisions. It is knowing when to stop, when to move forward, which direction to go, and the right thing to say. Emotions bring people together. Practicality keeps people together.

Practicality is critical to a life of love, but it is often the most overlooked of the five components of love. After all, they don’t make Rom-Com movies about the practical guy that makes good decisions. Yet, practical decision-making is what creates long-term happiness in life.

Sound financial decisions, maintaining good health habits, addressing mental health issues, time management, and other such issues are things that build happy lives and relationships, one good decision at a time.
