First of all in the video: Opposites in love: what really matters
In a healthy partnership inspired and supports yourself, as much as possible to become the best version of yourself.
We talk about the difficulties and problems that a partnership brings with it. About compromises that you have to go into. About crisis and challenges. A relationship is work, it always means and of course there is something true to it.
We look at it far too rarely from the other side: that our relationship can be an enrichment for our lives. And as enriching as a good book, further training or therapy.
After all, the person with whom we spend most of the time in our lives has a big impact on our personality. He*it shapes us, can become our best cheerleader. Does your partner*also make you a better person? You can see it from these signs!
1. He or she forces you out of your comfort zone
Growth always happens when we leave our comfort zone. Exactly in the moments when we have to overcome our fears, we become better people. Have you seen your partner*gave the last thrust in you? Then you can count yourself lucky because he*helps you to grow beyond you.
Maybe it was an incentive to ask for more salary. An encouragement to finally pull the parachute jump through. Or a few encouraging words to apply for the higher position. No matter what it was, in these moments our partner becomes our life coach who drives us to become a better version of ourselves.
2. He or she criticizes you regularly (but constructive)
Criticism never feels good, neither from the boss nor the partner. Nevertheless, it is a stroke of luck if we have a person at our side who honestly gives us feedback and also notes if we do something wrong.
Because no one can only develop through praise and recognition. It is just as important that you are honest and appeal to when you have the feeling that the other thing is wrong. It doesn't feel good at first, but in the long term it makes us better people.
3. You are open to learning from him or her
As a couple, you share common, but also different interests. Often you work in other job industries and follow different hobbies. In this way we come into contact with things that are outside of our own bubble.
Anyone who is open to this as a partner can learn a lot and expand their horizons. This can be financial knowledge, practical tricks when cooking or the way you deal with people. To do this, however, you have to listen and be attentive.
4. He or she strengthens your emotional intelligence
Some people teach us how we communicate better, solve conflicts and react more empathetically - without doing it consciously. If youre partnerIn yourself, it causes you to talk more about your feelings, to listen more consciously or to put yourself into others, then you develop emotionally together.
Perhaps you were more impulsive in the past or quickly withdrawn - but through the relationship you learned to stay calmer or to tell you. Such a change often happens gradually, but is a strong sign of a relationship that makes you grow internally. And: Exactly this emotional maturity is the foundation for long -term healthy love.
By the way:We learn from our sweetheart even if we don't even notice it. Since we are constantly observing it in many situations, we can unconsciously take over behaviors that we admire and would like to have. For example, if one is organized and neat, the*the other can also acquire it.
