This is a good partner, this is someone who sees something more in you than just external beauty. This is someone who won't walk away when the going gets tough, someone who will be honest and loyal and will love your difference.
Life is a little crazy sometimes. Time is short. Work is hectic. There are bills to be paid. You're standing in traffic jams. Social media throws you off track. All of this can give you a sense of time warp. Suddenly you look away from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and… oh, is it already Friday?
In order to live a happy, fulfilling life, we must to stop a little and look around. To live in the moment. To appreciate where we are, what we have, and the people we are surrounded by. This is especially true if we are in a relationship or even if we are just seeing someone. Today, things easily distract us and our partner easily we don't give enough time or affection, which as a human being he longs for. This can quickly lead to feeling unappreciated or taken for granted.
So we've come up with a short list of things we think you should a good partner especially consider.
Be with someone…
... who is honest and faithful
Although honesty and loyalty should not be hard-to-find qualities, they increasingly are. Today, if someone decides to jump over the fence, they have more and more ways to do so - and more options to cover it up. Honesty and trust are the cornerstones at the core of any relationship: for trust. Trust must be earned by showing as many times as possible that we know how to be honest and loyal. Never trust someone who has not earned your trust.
… where you can be weird in your own way
Let's face it, we're all a little weird! We all have our "fores" and unique qualities that we hide from the world because we are afraid that others will judge us. Therefore, our partner should be someone from whom we do not hide it, someone with whom we can discuss our secrets and longings. He should know them and accept them... and be silent about them. A real partner of our difference will not try to change into "normality", but he will love it, because it is precisely this difference that makes us us!
... who loves you even when he doesn't like you
Well, of course we have to LIKE the person we're with! But we are all well aware that there will be times when this simply will not be possible. We all sometimes argue, have different views on things, disagree on how we will raise (future) children... That's why they communication and compromise so important. That is why it is so important that we choose to be our partner loved EVERY DAY. Therefore, relationships are not a fairy tale, as they require effort, which is not always fun. But if we are angry with someone, it does not mean that we have stopped loving them.
… who gives his undivided attention
A relationship is not about choosing a person to sit on the couch with while surfing the phone. Be with someone who forget he has a phone. With someone who genuinely wants to know how your day was. With someone who listens. With someone who doesn't need empty distractions to get through your time together. With someone who enjoys your silence as much as he enjoys your deep conversations. Be with someone who he understands that the person in front of him is much more important than the hundreds of people hiding behind the phone screen.
… that values your true self
In our "visual" generation, everything starts and ends with appearance! We decide on partners based on a photo or a description in 300 characters. We want to be with someone who will look good in our selfies. With a person who will create with us the illusion of a life that others will envy us - and at that we overlook a person who could truly be a part of us, part of our journey through life as we TRULY want it. Rather, be with someone who respects your outer beauty, but knows that it pales in comparison to your loving heart. With someone who will understand that that perfect skin will one day be full of wrinkles and that your lush hair will thin out over the years. Be with someone who will understand that photos are not as important as the memories you will create with them.
Be with someone who truly loves and accepts you for who you are today and encourages you on your way to one day becoming what you always wanted to be.
