Written by Elizabeth Nyambura on March 14, 2022
There may be no such thing as the perfect partner, but an ideal partner can be found in someone who carries themselves in certain ways that go beyond physical attraction. This means recognising and resolving early childhood traumas or losses, and then understanding how these events influence your current behaviours.
Always strive to be the best person who possesses maturity, has developed a strong sense of independence and autonomy, having made the psychological shift from boy to man or girl to woman.
Therefore, having broken ties to old identities and patterns allows this person to be more available and lovable to their partner and the new bond they have created. Here are some tips that will guide to be the best partner in your relationship:
Prioritize the other person happiness
The ideal partner perceives their mate on both an intellectual, observational level and an emotional, intuitive level. This partner is able to both understand and empathize with their mate.
When a couple understands each other, they become aware of the commonalities that exist between them and also recognise and appreciate the differences. When both partners are empathic, that is, capable of communicating with feeling and with respect for the other person’s wants, attitudes and values, each partner feels understood and validated.
Be that best of you , that you can.
You don’t just happen to stumble upon the best version of yourself. In your current relationship start from the beginning and take a high number of small steps in order to bring out what you envision.
Stay on top of your life
It’s never easy especially in a relationship but in order to ensure that you are making the right move; ensure that you are happy, taking care of yourself, to the best of your ability.
Do all the things you want him to do to yourself. Go to dinner dates, buy nice attire for yourself and be focused to achieve what you desire in life.
Give your partner the benefit of doubt.
Embrace this simple idea: be curious, not furious. In case something upsets you, seek to understand the reasons why it happened. Imagine how much differently this scenario could have gone if your partner had simply asked why you were late.
It’s always good to suppose that your partner is trying their best and has good intentions.
