The
ideal
partner
Have you been looking for “the one”
with no results? Maybe this is the
reason. There are certain character
traits that are essential for a stable
and happy relationship: honesty,
maturity, loyalty and patience. When
looking for a potential partner, these
qualities must be on the top of the list,
and all must be required. However,
every single person also has an idea
of other traits they would like their
future partner to have, including their
style and even hair color. Although
all of these added preferences are in
their mind, they may meet someone
who has none or only a few of them.
How to approach a situation like this?
Some may require at least one
characteristic of choice while others
may go with the flow and see where
they end up. Believe it or not, none of
these approaches are wrong, however
they are both shortsighted. Being
fixated on certain physical or social
characteristics does not guarantee
a good relationship nor can we
accept whatever comes our way with
no idea of the future whatsoever.
Looking for characteristics in your
potential partner that will benefit the
relationship is your best option.
On the other hand, there are some
singles who have no wiggle room
for their idea of the ideal partner.
Their eye color, height, background,
likes and dislikes must be exactly
as the person imagined or they are
immediately placed on the “not
meant to be” pile. This is why many
singles are still single; they have no
room for something new.
We cannot allow our preferences to
block us from being fulfilled in our
love life. You might spend your entire
life looking for a person with all the
traits you want and not find. No one
is perfect, including ourselves; so how
can we expect someone else to be
what we are not?
Know what you want, but don’t
become so attached to it that it keeps
you from moving forward.
Learn how to prepare yourself for the
right person by becoming the right
person. Join us every Thursday at
