Too often, people choose their life
partner based on things that have nothing to do with character qualities.
Often the reasons are no less superficial than physical attraction,
employment, and a good sense of humor. While these may have some vital
benefit in a relationship, they fall far short of describing a person's
character qualities.
If nothing more is known about a person's
character qualities, there is a great chance for problems in the future.
Eventually, their character is revealed through the real life day-to-day
adversities that we all face.
For the single person who becomes proficient
at learning to read another person's character, he or she will be able
to look for a life partner armed with knowledge of what to look for
in a mate. They will be able to give a more honest portrayal of their
own character strengths to their potential mate. They will also become
skilled in looking for genuine qualities they prefer or counterfeit
qualities they wish to avoid.
There are many things to watch
for and be aware of; however, here is a list of just a few examples
for you to consider:
- If punctuality is not your quality, beware of
making a commitment to someone who is prone to be punctual and prone
to misuse it. Sparks will fly every time you are late, and feelings
will be hurt.
- On the other hand, if punctuality is your quality,
and if you are prone to misuse it, beware of making a commitment
to someone who lacks the quality of punctuality. Their lack of punctually
will cause problems for you to deal with.
- If you were certain that you would never want
to be in a relationship with a complainer, make certain that your
potential mate has the quality of gratefulness.
- Are you certain that you want to be with someone
who can talk and hold an expressive conversation? If you are, be
prepared to see the counterfeits of expressiveness because there
is a large chance you will see it in action.
- You have determined that your potential mate
under consideration has a good number of character qualities that
you really admire; however, you see a prevailing attitude of disrespectfulness
as well. Beware! Respectfulness can enhance every genuine quality;
however, disrespectfulness can magnify every counterfeit.
- You have the quality of hospitality and amiableness.
You love to entertain guests and cannot imagine your life any other
way. You have two choices. One, find someone else who has the quality
of hospitality. Two, find someone who at the very least has the quality
of cooperativeness.
- Do you want to avoid pack rats? Avoid people
with counterfeit frugality ...especially if they lack respectfulness!
- Is personal organization necessary for you? Keep
your eyes wide open for the quality of neatness! If you do not see
it, move on to the next person.
- Would you like to find someone that is good at
settling disputes? Look for fair-mindedness ...but beware of how
it is misused! You may not like that.
- Are you absolutely convinced that you want to
be with someone who clearly understands that when you say no it means
no? Make certain to avoid someone with the quality of persistence
...especially those who are inclined to misuse it.
- If you are having a problem with the counterfeits
of sensitivity beware of a relationships with others who have a problem
with the counterfeits of objectivity. There may be a serious clash
between the counterfeits of easily offended and insensitivity.
