We meet someone special and we radiate joy…<\/p>\n
We can\u2019t help it \u2013 the prospect of a brand new relationship leaves us brimming with excitement. Yet we hesitate, we don\u2019t want to waste time and energy on the wrong person.<\/p>\n
We want to know one thing: are they \u2018the one\u2019?<\/p>\n
With careful introspection and a few, honest questions, you can predict the likelihood of your romantic success as well as your partner\u2019s predestined role in your life.<\/p>\n
Reflect on these 13 inquiries to determine the compatibility, quality and durability of your love:<\/p>\n
1. What does your future look like?<\/strong> Realistically visualise the contents of your joint life in five, 10, even 20 years down the road.<\/p>\n 2. How do they regard family?<\/strong> 3. Can you both compromise?<\/strong> Do you and your partner believe in compromise over separation? Are they willing to give and take with you on essential matters? A relationship without compromise is a road with a guaranteed dead end.<\/p>\n If ever there were a secret to a lasting relationship, it is compromise<\/p>\n 4. Do you speak the same language?<\/strong> Partners who have parallel goals are more likely to remain together than those whose ambitions lie in opposite directions.<\/p>\n 5. What emotions do they trigger?<\/strong> Remember that the greatest gift anyone can give you is peace of mind.<\/p>\n 6. Do you need them?<\/strong> So ask yourself: do you need them?<\/p>\n Remember that the greatest gift anyone can give you is peace of mind.<\/p>\n 7. How do they compare to former partners?<\/strong> Compare and contrast the patterns of preceding relationships with your present love to ensure that you\u2019re making progress.<\/p>\n 8. Can you tolerate their weaknesses?<\/strong> Can you \u2018stand\u2019 all of your partner\u2019s faults? Every one of their bad habits and ill manners? Similarly, do you appreciate their \u2018likings\u2019? Can you genuinely adapt to their taste, if only out of love of them?<\/p>\n 9. Do you see potential for improvement?<\/strong> We all need a bit of work. What matters most is our willingness to better ourselves.<\/p>\n The right partner is supposed to double as your teacher. Two souls in harmony will have much to learn from each other<\/p>\n 10. Do you feel a soulful bond?<\/strong> 11. What have they taught you?<\/strong> 12. Are they generous?<\/strong> Do they freely gift you with not only tokens of their admiration, but also their time, affection, and attention? Such rewards are invaluable.<\/p>\n Partners who have parallel goals are more likely to remain together than those whose ambitions span in opposite directions<\/p>\n 13. Do you expect miracles?<\/strong> Sharing chemistry with someone is a rare treasure. But knowing early on whether a person is right for you is equally necessary for your well-being.

\nCan you imagine building a future together? Can you see yourself growing old with this person? If your partner possesses serious character flaws (addiction, abusive tendencies, constant lying), you may not be able to project a future by their side.<\/p>\n
\nDo they have close ties with their family members? Is family a priority? Even if they\u2019ve experienced familial rifts, have they cared enough to try to work things out? The way in which a person tends to their family speaks volumes about the way they will treat you if and when you become integrated into their clan.<\/p>\n
\nIf ever there were a secret to a lasting relationship, it is compromise.<\/p>\n
\nWhen I say language, I don\u2019t mean English or Afrikaans or Zulu. I refer to the language of mentality. Do you share the same views and aims? Similar morals and values?<\/p>\n
\nA person who evokes mostly anxiety, worry and pain is not the right person for you. But a person who steadies the emotions within you \u2013 bringing tranquillity and harmony \u2013 is like water to a rose garden; this is a partner who can help you bloom into your incredible, fully uplifted self.<\/p>\n
\nPartners who truly fit don\u2019t just want each other, they need each other. Theirs is a union that swims a deep ocean. After a long day, they yearn for their lover\u2019s embrace. They need the consoling words of their other half, their healing presence, their unique touch. This kind of love transcends wanting; it is an insatiable need from the seat of the soul.<\/p>\n
\nHave you brought into your life another partner who\u2019s merely a copy of a former love? Or does this person hold positive qualities that prior lovers lacked? If you don\u2019t completely heal from and resolve the karma of past relationships, it\u2019s likely that you will attract a similar companion once again.<\/p>\n
\nRelationships call for a degree of tolerance and acceptance that will undoubtedly test your limits.<\/p>\n
\nHuman beings are highly prone to error. The fact is that you will never find a \u2018perfect\u2019 partner; each person who walks through your life will leave flawed footprints. It is most important to estimate someone\u2019s potential to improve rather than rate their level of perfection upon first entering your life.<\/p>\n
\nA soulmate is like the missing piece of the puzzle. Soulful bonds and far and few but when they do occur, they\u2019re obvious to both partners. One of my previous blogs, The 10 Elements of a Soulmate, outlines tell-tale soulmate signs. Among them is a strong feeling of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, an us-against-the-world mentality, a curious intensity and a comforting sense of protection.<\/p>\n
\nThe right partner is supposed to double as your teacher. Two souls in harmony will have much to learn from each other. Whether they are lessons of love, work, finances, forgiveness or any other element of life, the ideal partner will also drive your mind and spirit to evolve.<\/p>\n
\nNot just to you, but to others. While you can\u2019t expect to be with a person who will give until they\u2019ve exhausted their outlets, you do need a partner who\u2019s fair and can return as much as he or she takes.<\/p>\n
\nWhen I met my husband, I could instantly see the miracles of our relationship: taking our first steps into our new home and holding our newborn daughter for the first time, among other glorious visions. His embrace alone felt like a miracle. Justly, love should offer us amazing things. And in the right relationship, we are able to feel such oncoming joys. What wonderful surprises can you \u2018feel\u2019 will develop in your own relationship?<\/p>\n
