When you begin that search for the ideal mate you
may want to consider your partner’s personality and how it
will play a role in your relationship. A personality is the
combination of one’s attributes and features which may
describe one’s character. These traits can range from
being affectionate to lack of passion. This article will touch
upon the positive traits that may help you decide what you
may want/need in your partner.
The first one that stands out is honesty: with honesty
comes trust; it's feeling comfortable knowing your partner
is providing you with truth and openness; that everything
can be shared and discussed. Honesty is a very important
part of one’s character, some may say it's the most
respected trait. The next one I would look for is empathy; a
trait that shows feelings can be a very rare but necessary
quality in a relationship; not to be confused with feeling
bad for someone or taking pity, empathy goes further, it is
having the ability to be in their shoes and feel what they
are feeling. The ability to have empathy will have a
soothing effect toward your partner because it will show
your understanding and compassion.
The last one I truly value is respect; however, before
you can respect someone else you need to respect
yourself. Self respect is important because it describes the
type of person you are and how you value yourself and
others around you. Surrounding yourself with people you
value and respect creates an atmosphere of security,
safety and happiness.When you and your partner show
mutual respect for one another, your relationship will grow
and become stronger; your time together will be
meaningful and your happiness fulfilled.
