The consequences of choosing a wrong life partner could be devastating because it diminishes every hope, dreams and aspiration we may have built for ourselves or hope to build with our spouse.
Ending up with a Mr or Mrs Wrong, could mean a whole life of frustrations and regrets.
Marriage is worthwhile when we share it with the right
partner. For every individual who makes the decision to get married, the
ultimate happiness is attained when we eventually share our lives with the
right and compatible life partner.
While married, we tend not to live for ourselves alone anymore
but in consideration of our spouse’s feelings and thoughts which often reflects
in every of our decisions and actions.
Often in relationships, we turn a blind eye to those not so
comfortable traits our partner exhibit. We tolerate them not only out of love
but sometimes, under the assumption that things will change when we finally get
married, but the sad truth is that, they rarely 'vanish' after marriage!
How then do we read
the writing on the wall, being conscious of the fact that, as humans, we are not
infallible? How do we tell that he or she would end up a wrong partner for us
and at the same time be strong enough to stand our grounds to choose right no matter
the circumstance? Here are some few ways to help us decide when we find ourselves in a wrong relationship.
Face It! These Are
Glaring Signs
Every wrong partner would certainly portray those signs
which give them away as a wrong choice for us, but the real challenge is not in
those obvious signs but our ability to decipher and come to terms with the
glaring reality.
From their
interactions with us and people around them, to their temperament, even right
in the words they say to us, the signs are always there beckoning on us to see
and sometimes hauling us to run from such relationship but we often fail to face
this harsh reality because as it is, many of us are trapped by our emotions.
Weigh The Consequences If You Have To Make A Compromise
It is true that a lasting relationship, requires lots of
commitments and sacrifices for it to flourish. We may likely have to compromise
our stand on some issues or tolerate certain attitude, just to ensure the relationship
works out. However, it is advisable to always weigh the consequence of our
decisions not for the present but for the sake of the near future. We should be
certain that we can bear for a lifetime, the consequences of our decision.
Learn To Be Emotionally Strong
When we are in love, controlling our emotions or deciding to
let go of that special person in our lives could be an uphill task. Usually, it
is in our best interest to muster the courage and be strong enough to
stand our grounds, for no other reason than for our future happiness.
Compromising those attribute which defines us could go a long way in
undermining our dream of a happy and fulfilled marriage.
Seek Counsel
There is no harm, in seeking for some advise from a
relationship expert or a counsellor when facing any form of challenges or issues
in our relationship. An expert or a more
experienced person would be able to guide you and help you through it all.
Listen To Advice
Sometimes, we may fail to read the writing on the wall perhaps because we are so deep in love with our partner, but our friends and loved ones may probably be the ones to see these flaws and warn us about them. It is always better to consider their opinion and not just discard their advice.
