Who’s the Bonnie to your Clyde or vice versa?

Being a ride-or-die doesn’t have to involve withstanding violence or crime as it did for the original Bonnie and Clyde.

Being a ride-or-die means being there for someone through a relationship’s inevitable trials.

In life, the unexpected happens all the time.

It’s reassuring to have someone, whether a significant other or a friend, who will stand by you through the storm and into the sunshine.
