Does it make you and your partner the way you are or could be in the future?

Ko vstopate v odnos, se pogosto soočate z vprašanjem: Ali ste s partnerjem zaradi tega kakršen je ali kakršen bi lahko bil v prihodnosti?

This fundamental question reveals a key relationship dynamic— the question of acceptance.

In today's world, where rapidly changing ideals of beauty, success and happiness affect our expectations of relationships, it is important to understand how to accept a partner, regardless of where it is currently located. Or should we ask ourselves if we are willing to support its path of growth and change?

Relationships they are like a journey full of ups and downs, but also opportunities for personal growth and development. However, we often fall into the trap of expectations, where we want to mold our partner in our own image.

We believe that if only one thing changed, the relationship would be perfect. This desire for change, although it may come from good intentions, can lead to feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction and distance between partners.

When we fall in love, we see the potential in our partner. We see what he could be and achieve. And it is this potential that takes us over.

However, the key question is whether we are ready withto receive a partner here and now, in his current form? Are we able to accept all his virtues, weaknesses, fears and dreams? Do we only see what is on the surface or do we try to understand his inner being?

To truly accept a partner means to accept their whole being

.
This means that we do not seek perfection or idealize certain qualities, but understand that each individual is unique and carries his own story. Acceptance does not only mean tolerance of your partner's mistakes, but genuine understanding and respect for his perception of the world.

We must also understand that people develop and change. The path of partnership is a path of personal growth for both partners. And sometimes that growth also means change, but that has to be the partner's decision, not something we force or pressure on them.

So the key question we need to ask ourselves is whether we are ready to support the partner on his growth path, without forcing it or wanting to shape it in your own image? Acceptance also means understanding that each individual has their own pace and path, and that we must respect them.

Before we decide to make a long-term commitment, we need to ask ourselves if we are ready for this journey. Are we willing to share the burdens and joys of life with our partner, even in moments when the going seems difficult? Are we ready to accept a partner, not only for his virtues, but even for its shortcomings?

Issues of acceptance and support are fundamental to a healthy relationship.

If we are able to accept our partner completely, with all his qualities, we are on the way to building a sustainable and fulfilling relationship that grows and develops together with us. Acceptance is the key that opens the door to true intimacy, connection and love in a relationship.

So, does it make you and your partner the way they are or could be in the future?
