Accept that your partner is not perfect. Nor are you!
Have realistic expectations of your partner. Don’t expect them to read your mind. Or live up to an unrealistic list of qualities that your “ideal partner” was meant to have. It’s hard to find a person who has it all -- looks, intelligence, romance, humor, success, patience, culinary skills, knowledge, ability to a good parent, and whatever else you list comprises. In all likelihood, you not quite that perfect yourself. So instead of sulking, feeling let down or complaining, appreciate your partner for who they are. Looks for traits that really matter. Like compassion, understanding, kindness, humaneness, generosity and a loving heart.
