Making myself the best partner for my significant other.

There is a reason why people have a checkbox that they use to pick a partner who they will be getting into a romantic relationship with. For the most part, people are looking for compatibility and they want to be sure they are getting into a relationship with someone they can afford to spend the rest of their life with. At least, that should be the case if you intend to get into a long-term "for better and for worse" relationship.

There are a lot of questions that can be asked in our attempt to make our romantic relationship very appealing and enjoyable. However, for the sake of the prompt in this month's Thinker's Corner Challenge, I will focus on one question;

How do I make myself the best partner for my significant other?

The first thing that comes to mind is that I've become the type of guy who doesn't force anyone to be in a relationship with me. I just don't fall into the category of trying to force anyone to be with me. I like when people in a relationship get into it voluntarily and I'm all about that life. Will I tell you that I'm interested? Yeah! Will I show you? Yeah! However, choosing to get in with me has to be your choice.

The next thing would be to say and live the truth in my relationship. I like to look at this as "don't just say it... Try as much as possible to be true to the things you say". That approach has helped in my relationship because I don't just lie about things to anyone I'm in a romantic relationship with. I always choose to tell the truth because I know that romantic relationships are built on trust and honesty.

I also like to flow with the Golden Rule. This is a principle that suggests we treat others the way we want to be treated. That is something I take to heart when dealing with people in general and I do the same in my romantic relationship. Generally, I don't like to be lied to and I know I don't ever lie to my partner. If I decide to set a ground rule with my partner, I try to also play by that rule.

My willingness to genuinely show appreciation is one of the things I rate highly. I don't hold back from saying "well done" when I see my partner do something I want her to do again. Once I notice that she did something I enjoy or something that will help us grow in the relationship, I say "Well done" and try to appreciate her. In the same manner, when I start seeing something I don't like, I call her attention to that.

Getting into a romantic relationship makes people take up a life of voluntary sacrifice. For me, when I see that I must sacrifice a part of myself for the betterment of the relationship, I go all-in and I voluntarily make the sacrifice. In a way, it's similar to losing pieces of yourself, but when it is done properly, it will transform the entire relationship into an adorable union for both parties.

In addition to these, I'm consistently building myself financially, mentally, emotionally, physically and I'm also trying to make myself someone that's capable of providing for, protecting and leading my significant other in a long-term relationship. The list goes on and on.
