What Is The Best Way To Choose A Life Partner?
Patience and not settling is essential when choosing a long-term partner.
I’ve recently began taking a personal inventory. I’m on a quest to not make the same mistakes as my past in choosing a long-term partner. I’ve work on myself a lot over the last few years, and I am far from where I want to be.
While this list isn’t perfect, nor are individuals, it gives me guidelines to follow.
1. Laughter: Find someone that not only laughs at your humor and quirks but doesn’t take life to serious. Laughter can solve many worthless arguments.
2. Support: Find someone that has your back 99.999% of the time. They will address issues in private and not in public.
3. Attraction: Looks aren’t everything, but initially they get the ball rolling. If you find someone that you find highly attractive and their mind matches that, there’s your answer.
4. Communication: Find someone that will hurt you with honesty but not destroy you with betrayal and lies. Find a person that can and will talk about the uncomfortable situations that come up throughout the relationship.
5. Personality: Find someone that has an open mind, nonjudgmental with one similar to yours.
