Reveal Your True Self

In a relationship, acceptance is the path to true contentment. When you can relax and see your partner for who she or he is, and not constantly hold in your mind some idea of what she or he should be, then you are able to love and be loved here and now. Let go of the "potential" and love the person you have chosen. Focus on what's likable about your partner, not what's annoying. Reveal your true self. Ask for what you want and graciously accept the answer, yes or no. Think every day of ways you can be of service to your partner. Approach problems as a team, not as adversaries. Ask yourself, "what can I do to make this better?" Have fun together. Share dreams and desires. Work on common goals. Be honest and open. Happiness will ensue.
