A life partner is someone, you not only share your life with but your soul as well. You wouldn’t want to tie the knot with the wrong person and regret it for the rest of your life. But. in a world full of varieties of people, the hunt to find the perfect match with compatibility is no cakewalk. 

Fret not! Cupid Knot has you covered. We have some master guidance on the qualities of a good life partner. This guide will help you choose the one truly made for you and compatible. 

What are the qualities to consider in choosing a lifetime partner? Here’s to answer your question: 
 

Respectful to you as well as themself 

Mutual respect for each other is a core value of any marriage. While they don’t have to agree on anything and everything you believe, they should have the patience to hear you out and respect your opinion. The same goes for you as well. Apart from respecting you, they must respect themself. We all know it, a person who doesn’t respect themself is unlikely to respect anyone else. 

Independent

An independent person wants you rather than needs you. They don’t rely on you to take care of them nor wish you to keep them happy and occupied all the time. An independent person doesn’t like to be clingy or demand all of your time and attention. They are able to plan for the future, able to say NO when needed, value themselves, capable of being alone and most of all, goal-oriented.

Life can be really beautiful with someone like this, while a dependent person can suck you up emotionally and make life a living hell. 

Love all of you (even the flawed parts)

They should be in love with you, not their idea of who they think you should be. While we all have some expectations about how our spouse should be, it is not possible to find the one that matches perfectly with what we dreamt (for we dream of the ideal). We all have our shortcomings. The person you’re marrying should be able to accept it and love you all the same. They shouldn’t try to mould you into another person, the ideal one they dreamt of. 

Level headed 

None of us would want to be with a person who panics on the smallest of things. Look for someone who remains reasonably calm in stressful situations. That doesn’t mean they will never get upset, but they have the strength and maturity to manage their emotions and think on their feet when things go south. 

A level headed person approaches situations in a rational way, considers other person’s points of view, has an optimistic but realistic attitude and learns from their experiences. Apart from these, they are emotionally regulated and available as well. They know that the emotional give-and-take fosters a deeper, more intimate connection between partners and therefore, share things part of being a good partner involves sharing things about themselves as well are interested in knowing more about you. 

Supportive

A person who understands that not everything in your marriage will be about them or even about you as a couple is the right one. They know that you both have individual goals and stand by your side supporting and cheering for you. 

They don’t feel threatened by your achievements and in fact, encourage you to achieve more. They comfort you when you’re upset, listen to you and give supportive advice, want to know how they can help you, lets you know what they’re thinking of you and most of all are proud of you. 

Thoughtful

One of the core values of a great partner is they’re very thoughtful. They think not only about you but others as well. They treat people in a kind and compassionate way be it their parents, in-laws, spouse, casual acquaintances or strangers. 

Observing how your potential partner treats people in their day-to-day life can reveal a lot about them. A thoughtful person is compassionate towards others, don’t make judgemental comments about others, gives genuine compliments, is patient with people, stays in touch with people they care about. The list goes on, but you get the idea. 

Look for a life partner who treats others the way they want to be treated. They are going to be more pleasant to be around in the long term.

Self Confident

A mature partner is confident in their skin. They don’t try to prove anything to anyone with their words but believe that their actions are way more powerful than words. They will not let anyone bully them, talk down to them or act as though their opinion doesn't matter. They deserve respect and they know it. 

They are not intimidated by their partner’s success, are well aware of their strengths and weaknesses, support and celebrate others. 

While these aren’t the ultimate qualities and do not guarantee that a person will be a great partner, these characteristics are a great place to start with. When it comes to finding that one who is marriage material, think about the things that are important to you including your values and goals, and pay attention to if your potential partner possesses those qualities. But be aware not to seek the 100% perfect. For none of us is 100% perfect. You might end up in disappointment.
