Seeing your mate through rose colored glasses and putting them on a pedestal that screams the words “unrealistic expectations” will not only hurt your relationship, but will set a tone for disillusionment that will alienate your partner. We need to realize no one is perfect and we are ALL prone to mistakes. Letting your partner see your mistakes and forgiving yourself for them, allows for them to know that when they fall short, (because at times they sure will), that you will treat them with the same respect and forgiveness you gave yourself. This creates a sense of security within the relationship that will perpetuate a healthy, wholesome relationship between the two of you.
