12 Qualities of a Great Partner – Part 1

TLW, Franco, Amanda Grace and Derek are here to guide you and how can you understand unless you have a guide a man once said, and he proceeded to alow someone to guide him and his life changed forever! Enjoy reading.

1. Happy disposition

-Look for a happy, optimistic person. Find someone who has a sense of humor and can laugh at himself/herself. True happiness springs from a content heart. Beware of the person who is only happy when you are around. You’re going to get tired of being responsible for another person’s happiness. You could end up feeling guilty when the person slips into bouts of depression. True happiness is a part of a person’s character, regardless of the circumstances.

2.Thoughtfulness

-How does your date treat his parents and yours? Chances are you’ll get treated very much the same way. Does he see things that need to be done and offer to help? Or does he put his own needs first? Does he open doors for you and wait to seat you at the table? Manners are important – and they seldom get better after marriage.

3. Not easily angered

-Temper out bursts can be the symptom of internal hostility. This hostility is often repressed during courtship as a person is trying hard to be on his best behavior. Take seriously any outbursts you observe, and check with others who have known this person in different situations to see if they have noticed this trait. The way a woman treats her younger brother may be an indication of how she will treat her husband. Be leery of the person who has not learned to express his anger in words and instead merely harbors angry feelings in his heart. Going silent and withdrawing from a loved one because of anger is unhealthy and damaging to a relationship. Be sure you date a person long enough to observe how easily he or she becomes angry and how these feelings are expressed. Ask yourself, “Is this what I want to live with for a lifetime?”

4. Willing to solve problems

-It’s almost impossible to solve relationship problems by yourself. Marry someone who will be honest enough to admit being wrong, who doesn’t have a habit of blaming others.

    this blog will help young people find their their dream person, or their partners if they possess those great qualities. and i am happy Derek that you've mentioned that it's our responsibility to look for our partner, and i do agree with that. But we can have these person w/ the good qualities, only if we also have developed ourselves and be a great partner . because we attract those who are like us- so if you're a happy person, you'll attract a happy person too.

    hi kuya derek,

    This topic is great! This will help me answers the common questions of young people today (how to find my future mate? they are billions out there!) when they will ask me, sana ma-include ko sa radio program ito this coming sunday or perhaps on the 3rd week. sayang! bitin!

  17. ayen says:

    how can i be sure if a guy really loves me? cause we have a long distace relationship...can you please help me?

  18. TLW Admin says:

    Hey Ayen,...

    Long distance is hard on a relationship. Communication is very important and accountability for both you and him is a must.

    email us more intimate questions at info@tlw.ph

  19. Brian says:

    I wish this can be shared sa lahat ng universities (around the country) even in Bible schools and seminaries...

    Hi Mark!

    "Should i wait?? kasi bilang isang guy diba dapat ako gumawa ng first move.."

    mahirap maging lalaki ano?kaya am grateful babae ako! &;D Yes, even if you are a man you should wait for God's perfect timing. Mahirap maghintay pero it's all worth the wait.

    Blessings,
    Mikay

    thanks

  32. bojo says:

    hello po!

    i'm new here..overwhelmed nmn po ako sa website na 'to.. ^_^
    nkkrelate po xe ak...heheh! i'm a member din po ng NBSB club! ;p
    i'm 24 now and still patiently waiting for my Mr. Right! ehhehe!

    nways, share ko lng din po eto... all of us want to get married, right? but marriage is not all about love...there are so many factors need to be considered.and one of those is that your relationship with your partner...and that relationship affects your children in the future...remember, how a person is nurtured and disciplined at home reflect the person as a whole...and that is a big responsibility for us as future parents...our children's lives do not only affect us but also other people surround him/her, the society and the community...so marriage is a very serious matter..it's no joke at all...im saying this because of what is going on in our country...our present situation is only a reflection of our carelessness and selfishness...we say we no longer have hope...but the truth is we have HOPE! only if we make right and godly choices...we can help...lets start in our generation...don't settle for less...lets set God standards in our lives... just keep on praying for it... God knows us better than we know ourselves....trust HIM fully! =)
