• ♥ IYH – Someone with who sex is so-so at best, like only once or twice a month or less… And even that’s a chore!
    YSH – Someone with whom you have crazy passion and chemistry. You should want to inhale them whenever you see them.

    ♥ IYH – Someone who shares different spiritual beliefs and practices.
    YSH – Someone who strengthens your beliefs and encourages you to grow in your faith.

    ♥ IYH – Someone with different family goals, regarding the discipline of children, the number of children you want, attitude toward stay-home parenting, etc.
    YSH – Someone who is a partner, father, mother and friend. With whom you’re on the same page and it’s not a constant battle regarding how to properly raise your children.

    ♥ IYH – Someone whom you don’t trust, because it makes it difficult to have to any level of relationship with them because you constantly look over your shoulder or worry about being betrayed.
    YSH – Someone whom you trust with your life unconditionally, with your kids, finances and an overall feeling that they are always looking out for your well being.

    Now that you have your score, you’re probably weighing your options and debating whether you’re in a good situation or not. Though you may feel stuck in your current relationship, don’t let anyone tell you that you’ll never find someone that will give you what you’re looking for. They’re trying to scare you and lower your self-esteem so that you will settle for less. And we all know that if you’re willing to settle for less, you’ll get less. Hopefully, you’re not willing to allow too much of your life to pass you by because other people (children, family, friends, etc.) in your circle of influence will be impacted by your decision. So, don’t wait and stop making excuses that things could be worse or that this is just how things are. It will not get better unless you do something about it.  It takes commitment and work for each of you to realize what needs to improve.

    Now, go over this list (or whatever else you’ve added) with your partner and set specific goals and timelines for improvements to be made. Actions speak louder than words. So stick with it and prepare to pursue alternatives if you don’t see improvement. Then follow through or accept the fact that you are settling for less. Whether it is for your children, family, friends or whatever other excuse you come up with. The bottom line is that you are in control of your happiness! The only problem is that the more you settle for less, the more you compromise your own self-worth? I know that everyone has a soul mate out there; it just depends on whether you allow yourself or feel that you deserve to find yours!
