One type of being patient in love is trying to find the right person to love.Being patient with the person you fell in love with is one of the other things.Both skills are needed for a long life.
Step 1: Love can't be forced.
It takes time to get to know the person who is going to be your best friend, your helpmate, and your partner in life.You might end up choosing someone who isn't right if you rush it.The right person will walk into your life if you allow love to blossom.
Step 2: When you are single, make the most of it.
You can use this time to learn more about yourself.Define your purpose.Do the things that give life to your passion.The great thing about having time to think about these things for yourself is that you'll be able to do things with people who have the same interests and passions as you.
Step 3: You can make the most of the time you have with people.
Some people won't be compatible with you.Some of the people you start planning a future with won't end up in that future.Each of these people brings you closer to the person you will spend the rest of your life with.In the process, you learn more about yourself and what works for you in a relationship.
Step 4: Be ready to wait.
Love waits.There is nothing else that you can do other than to wait for something to happen.It will take a long time before you can come together as one.
Step 5: It is best to take it easy when you fall in love.
When it comes to the speed at which you fall in love, patience is a virtue.It's fun to fall in love, but you need to have firm friendship, deep commitment and acceptance of each others' quirks as much as your features in order for it to be a good experience.Taking it slowly allows both of you to get to know each other and to be accepting of the limitations and less liked things early on.
Step 6: You should enjoy the journey as much as you can.
Falling in love is a journey, not a destination.There needs to be room for change, growth and maturation as well as patience and a willingness to accept that a lifetime is a long time.Being patient will help you stay connected and understanding one another for many decades to come.
Step 7: Become a good listener.
It is a skill that anyone can learn if they choose to do so.Being a good listener can bring many benefits, including helping the other person to feel heard, understanding what motivates them, and providing space for healing discussion during conflict.A patient heart is often at the center of a loving relationship.There are many resources on how to be a good listener, and one of the best places to start is at wikiHow.Listen without interruption.It is important that you wait your turn, it is a mark of respect towards the other person.
Step 8: To communicate well you have to learn to do it.
Communication is at the center of any relationship but especially so for a loving commitment.Conflict is an inevitable part of a relationship but it isn't to be viewed as a negative; conflict allows you to get across things you need to deal with and then to resolve them together.There is a glue behind resolving any conflict the two of you may have, and sometimes you need a huge amount of patience to see things through to a satisfactory resolution.Communication and conflict resolution skills are important to achieving this.When a conflict arises, learn to count to 10 and breathe deeply.If you have to leave the discussion, you should take some time to think things through.Don't be accusatory when talking to your love.A patient approach looks for good faith reasons behind actions and accepts that every person has limitations.
Step 9: To match your strengths to your weaknesses, you need to know your love's strengths and weaknesses.
A force of togetherness and mutual support is what you are.It is possible to recognize both this and the reality that each of you needs to buffer and support the other by bringing both of your strengths to the fore.If you want to make up for your partner's weaknesses with your strengths, be patient and expect the same from him.Your partner is flaky with money because you're a whiz with budgeting.Who gets to do the bills weekly?Guess who gets to organize your schedule because you are flaky and your partner is an ace at timeliness.
Step 10: Together, look ahead to the future.
Look at what may happen for you and plan together.patience is what you need to get your goals, hopes and dreams.For all good things take time to grow and bear fruit, so rushing into them isn't advisable.With both of you resolving to make things better, to put your finances, efforts, skills and abilities toward the goals and dreams, you will both get there.Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.Plan together, work, share and laugh, and assure one another that the things you both seek will come to pass.
