章 26: Do Opposites Really Attract? - How To Choose The Right Partner
It is often believed that in relationships, opposites attract.
Like two magnets compelled together by the force of their opposite poles, two humans are attracted into a bond of love and intimacy when they are opposites of one another.
The point of a relationship is to have someone to share life with.
Not only that, but someone to help navigate through and improve life with.
Perhaps it is possible that opposites are often believed to attract because they create a dynamic exchange of personal improvement.
If a couple is to some level opposite of one another, when each person brings their views and personality to the table, they can provide alternative insight and perspective into each other's lives.
A check-an-balance of sorts where the contrast between each partner provides equilibrium to each others' personality type.
This is of great value because our personalities can be very elusive and consuming.
After we become attached and conditioned by our personality, they tend to run away with us.
We should appreciate and embrace our unique personalities, but their force can often cause us to become complacent and stagnant.
They can close us off from considering and executing improvements in our self and our life.
And therefore, it is very beneficial to have someone who can help us consider and mediate our personality from a different vantage point.
The likely truth is that a happy long-term relationship forms out of a balance of being both opposite and similar.
An elaborate mix of complementary and contrasting personality traits and values, layered onto one another in an order that provides balance to both individuals.
But regardless of how true it is or isn't that opposites attract, there will always be some level of difference in the personalities and perspectives of two people.
And what's more important than anything else is both partners being aware of each other's differences and possessing the willingness to work through them and meet in the middle.
For a relationship to survive where both individuals feel inspired, challenged, and benefited, each side must be willing to give up a little bit of themselves in order to receive a little bit from their partner.
To be open to the ways in which their partner lives and the potential benefits it can have on their life and the relationship as a whole.
It is this exchange that brings balance to each person, neutralizes complacency, and facilitates a relationship of lasting and potent love.
