“A self-fulfilling prophecy may also take place when we treat our partners like they are wonderful and talented people, in that we actually help elicit this behavior from them and, in doing so, enhance their self-esteem. By believing that ones partner is the best, we may help him or her become their ideal self—an effect known as the Michelangelo phenomenon.” –Kristine Keller, M.A. in Psychology Today
