Discussing this with my gf the other night, we wondered what others might choose. Different people have different ideas about what they would wish their life partner to be. Check the 3 'values' below. What would you choose your partner to be in each of these in a score from 1 -10? What are the values that are most important to you? But... here's the problem.... in reality, it would be impossible to have someone who is a super model, a genius and a saint. So, to make it interesting (and more realistic) your total score cannot add up to any more than 20. What you gain in one value, you would lose in the other two. For example: LOOKS: 7 BRAINS: 4 HEART: 9 = 20 or.... LOOKS: 3 BRAINS: 9 HEART: 8 = 20 LOOKS: 1___________________________________________________________10 scary ugly........................................................................................super model BRAINS 1___________________________________________________________10 almost retarded.....................................................................................genius HEART 1___________________________________________________________10 no heart.................................................................................................... saint Have fun :wink: .

What should you search for in a good marriage partner? While we all have different preferences, expectations, attractions, etc. there are some things we should all look for in a potential mate. A good partner should have a variety of skills, such as social-communication skills, both with you and with others. They should be capable of emotional intimacy, demonstrate emotional maturity and possess control of his/her emotions. Tolerance and affection towards you and others, respectful and egalitarian viewpoints will also help you negotiate differences as they arise. Having similar interests and values to yours can help you and your partner prioritize family goals. A good partner should also have the ability to be responsible and earn an adequate, steady income. Finances are common fodder for the mill, so having similar beliefs around money is helpful. Effective problem-solving and conflict resolution skills will allow the two of you to manage conflicts and resolve them. Remember, healthy partners fight just like other couples, but unlike dysfunctional partners, they are able to come to a mutual resolution. The ability to resolve a conflict is crucial. We know that for a relationship to pass the test of time, there needs to be more than a strong physical attraction. The exact keys to a great match are often not clear, however, even to the person in love. An individual?s psychological fears and needs often give rise to foolish choices about potential partners. Unfortunately, many people don?t tend to distinguish between being ?in love? and being in a good love relationship. I believe selection of a life-long partner is the most important decision an adult can make. If we choose well, we will have a safe confidant, a supporter, a lover, and a committed mate for life. Too often, we don?t consciously choose. Oftentimes, we react primarily to ?chemistry.? While chemistry is one of the essential ingredients in a great relationship, it is not enough to sustain a long-term marriage. Our best choices are rationally and carefully thought out, paying attention to our gut instincts and making sure chemistry is also present. So what makes a great partner for you?
