There are tons of beautiful people in the world and many who are physically more attractive than your partner. They do their partner hopping, exchanging and dating in search of the greenest lawn, but they’ll never find it because a beautiful relationship, like a beautiful garden, must be tended to and cared for. You can have ‘happily forever after’ with the partner you choose, but you must commit yourself to it.
Keep giving generously and you partner will return your love when the time is.
To sustain love, two people have to choose each other. If either partner defaults or is unsure, the whole relationship falls apart. It doesn’t matter how much you love the other person, if they do not return your love.
The more you love a person; the more you care about him or her, the greater the feeling of being stabbed in the heart when they betray or cheat your love. The normal reaction to being dumped is to go ballistic and tell your lover what a piece of trash they are, your heart feels like a knife has sliced through it. This heart-pain is there because buried under your anger, there is love.

If you want to find an ideal partner, you first have to BE an ideal partner. Give your partner first-class treatment – be infinitely patient, loving, and giving. Give with all your heart and trust that your partner appreciates the love you give.

They have a vision in their minds of how they want their ideal partner to be – and they will not compromise. And you will start editing your criteria of what you want in a partner, circling those qualities which are important, and mentally scratching out those which are not.
