With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, Business Insider recently published an article entitled “How to tell if someone is right for you.” The article quoted Arts and Sciences assistant professor of psychology Laura VanderDrift, who talked about the importance of mutual happiness between a couple.

“It certainly helps if you’re dating someone that you want to make happy and who wants to make you happy in return,” she said. “Couples who each truly place the needs and wants of their partners on par with or above their own seem handle a lifetime of compromising, juggling priorities, and collaborating better than couples who individually pursue their own best interests.”
