In this episode, Matthew and Stephen break down the difference between red flags and "amber lights" (or yellow flags), and why knowing the difference can save you from making a costly mistake.
Some warning signs reveal a serious compatibility issue that shouldn't be ignored. Others may point to challenges that, when handled well, can actually strengthen a relationship.
Join Matthew and Stephen as they put common dating scenarios to the test and explore how to tell the difference between a relationship that's worth investing in and one that's likely to cause heartache down the road.
