3 of 8 Keys to Creating a Loving, Joyful Relationship! 3.

Practicing bringing compassion to your own woundedness, and to your mistakes, fears and failures makes it far easier to be compassionate toward your partners woundedness and mistakes. We all want acceptance and we feel close to those who accept us. When you learn to love, value and accept yourself, you will find yourself being far more accepting of your partner. If your partners behavior is truly intolerable to you, then you need to consider leaving. Our only viable choices are to accept or to leave. Getting your partner to change through controlling behavior is not a viable choice, since it doesnt work. Your partner will change only when he or she wants to -- not when you try to change him or her through your controlling behavior.
