about being a successful partner
Forgive me for allowing this equation to dwell in my mind for some time.
Let x be the amount of happiness of your spouse being with you, however it is measured.
What is the value of x so that you can be called a successful partner, neglecting all the other factors?
In trying to come out with an answer to this question, I proposed two solution.
1. The simplest of course, in when your spouse proclaimed sincerely that he/she is happy being with you.
2. Secondly, and this was the spark that brought me to this thought – is when his/her friends are envious of him/her.
Can 2 be a sufficient measure? What if 2. is fulfilled but not one?
IF 2 but NOT 1 THEN
your spouse has a high standard, but you’re doing just fine.
OR
your spouse’s friend has a crap partner
ELSE IF 1 but NOT 2 THEN
you’re doing okay. After all, what your spouse thinks matter the most.
OR
he/she’s lying. You’re in trouble
END IF
Update: On second thought, this post might cause misunderstanding on the current state of my relationship. No no no, that’s not true. It’s just those time when I allow myself to think a little and put those thoughts down in this blog.
so in both cases, you are doing good. win-win.
hence, the question is…. are YOU happy?
Erm.. too difficult to understand ..haha.. you logical crap brother! Anyway, wish that both of you are well and happy. =) look for mentors around you that can guide you in building a loving and lasting relationship.
If anyone can make his/her spouse always be a confident person and full of hope in life, then I will tell you who is the successful partner.
LOVE LIEF FULLY, LIFE WILL LOVE YOU BACK.
