3 Qualities, (often over-looked) You MUST Have To Save Your Relationship

2. Patience

When you’re patient, you can accept challenges without getting angry. That’s huge!

Not only should you have patience towards your partner, but patience towards yourself is equally as important.

When you form an intimate bond with a man, he becomes a lightening rod for your anger and frustration simply because he’s there and accessible. Anger is one of the biggest love destroyers (primarily when it’s misused and misdirected). When you project your anger onto him, it comes out as blame and criticism.

It takes a lot of self-awareness to catch yourself doing it and to have the patience to accept him as he is. When you cultivate patience, you create more peace in your life and in your relationship — you both feel like you’re on the same team.

Of course, at times, your partner will trigger your emotions and make you want to lash out, but patience enables you to take a breath and decide to react differently.
