    I've been taking notes on my parents (happily married nearly 35 years). Here are a few traits:
    (1) They're biased towards each other. Neither of them is perfect, but they're minimally bothered by each other's flaws. They've long since accepted and come up with ways to cope with the things they don't like about each other.
    (2) They genuinely listen to each other and accept each other's influence. They make decisions together and talk things out. This leaves fairly little room for disagreements to snowball into bigger arguments, let alone fights. I can tell you, they don't fight. They might get snippy or irritated, but they never fight because their pattern of being together lets things diffuse early on and relatively easily.
    (3) They want the same things out of life. From the kind of home they have, the pattern of their day, to their big goals in life, they match.
    (4) They're open about their gratitude for each other, saying thank you for little and big things alike.

    • @0xymor3
      @0xymor3 Рік тому +103

      So if I sum up :
      1) Accepting the other without judgment or will to change him / her
      2 ) Good conflct skills / communication
      3) They want the same things, have the same rythms, have common goals
      4) They don't take each other for granted and cultivate gratitude.
      Yep, it looks like a sweet relationship; as a divorced child I wish I could have been able to seen that, still nice to read it exist ❤‍🩹

    Been married almost 20 years, you have to realize the perfect partner DOESNT EXIST. You both have to be willing to work in the realionship,if only one or neither is willing to work, it will never work out. You WILL ALWAYS have fight now and then, it's inevitable. You have to have the mindset that a break up or divorce is not an option and you both have to work it out together.

    In my experience, I have found that we tend to attract the mirror image of our emotional selves. So if you feel like you've been dating the wrong kind of people, you might need to look inward and find the issues in yourself that need to be worked on (therapy helps). The more that you are striving towards becoming your ideal self, you will eventually find someone that is running that same race right next to you.

    If you’re anxiously attached, or fearful avoidant leaning anxious you’re more drawn to people who are avoidant because your subconscious comfort zone is to avoid self, and the avoidant’s comfort zone is to prioritize themselves and be dismissive of you and your needs. So it’s a bit deeper than making a list (although this is very helpful), you have to change your subconscious comfort zone. Connect to self, get to know self and standards for a partner, what your needs are, reprogram core wounds surrounding “I am not enough” or “I will be abandoned” (etc) and be consistent for 21 days to see the needle shift. Naturally, you will start losing interest in people who lack emotional presence.

      @sammelina12 Рік тому +7

      @@iskrenaraykova7210 This is simply not true. I don’t mean to sound arrogant with my comment, but this is backed by neuroscience and psychology. Neuroscience has shown that it takes about 21 days to make new associations (hence when I said make the needle shift)… About 60 days of you want it really primed into your unconscious. Within 21 days, our reticular activating system starts to shift to start seeking evidence that supports our new belief. You can literally feel things changing. You need a lot of awareness and insight into how to do it, and especially how to challenge core beliefs at various levels (the belief, thought, and behavioural), but you can absolutely start to shift your core beliefs within 21 days. Thank you, neuroplasticity. There are other things you can do to support a shift in beliefs like: learning boundaries, learning your needs and strategies to meet them, etc., but reprogramming your subconscious associations to beliefs does not hinge on them. It’s repetition + emotion + evidence to shift the “scales” - I.e changes in the amygdala and hippocampus. Responsible for our threat response and memory.

What you're suggesting can lead to negative long term consequences for both parties. Never compromise or tear down your boundaries at the expense of trying to be understanding for someone else.

    I'm surprised that Open to Experience is recommended to be low/moderate. In myself, I consider this to be a massive part of my ambition for self-improvement (coupled with my Conscientiousness/Extroversion/Agreeableness). If I had less Openness, I would be more ignorant/narrow-minded and likely to stay within a small echo chamber, even if I am gregarious, assertive, kind, and understanding within that small circle. But I think that Openness can (maybe even ought to be) be very high AS LONG AS other traits like Agreeableness and Conscientiousness are high too. I think it's the LACK of those traits that indicates unfaithfulness and long-term instability.

      Being in an echo chamber is great for family stability.
      Remember, when someone decides to marry you, she is happy with the version of you at that point in time. Make that version last forever is the way to keep a long lasting relationship.

      @@niccolom I think the only constant is change and it’s impossible to make any version of you last forever. I think healthy long term relationships accept the uncertainty of change. Keeping certain traits (like those big 3) high and stable is what makes it easier to accept that uncertainty. If I were highly Open but low with Conscientiousness and Agreeableness, I think even the most confident partner who also prefers novelty would have trouble trusting and feeling close to me.
      Thinking again, I agree that it wouldn’t make sense to outright prescribe/strive for high Openness because I think it goes hand in hand with Extraversion in that the opposite traits: Introversion or preference towards familiarity are simply alternate lifestyles they could be happy with and have preferences for. And I think most people want others who are not emotionally volatile (low Neuroticism) and who are extremely understanding (high Agreeableness) and extremely reliable (high Conscientiousness). The other two seem more open to personal preference.

      @@FruitOnHead I think that the implication that high Openness implies experiences with others and getting FOMO relies on having high Extraversion and Neuroticism respectively. With high E and N (or with low E and high N) that could indicate a cheater/abandoner. With high E but low N, they’re the life of the party with many stories to tell. With low E and N, it implies a highly independent adventurer. The latter two may be hard to build a bond with even if you have similar levels, but I wouldn’t advocate looking for someone with lower O because of it.
      That is to say, I think it’s really N we need to be wary of and to maximize A and C for lasting relationships. (And not maximizing them if you aren’t looking for LTRs.) I think O and E are more just personal preference.
      (Edit: this makes me curious about the original studies. They may have studied a skewed population where the majority of Os had certain levels of other traits that then correlate to being unfaithful/unstable. If there was a study making sure to have a varied population of high Os, maybe we could pinpoint a significant combination of the other traits. I’d like to see more about the intersectionality of the traits rather than comparing them independent of each other.)

      openness is also quite a good trait, because it is also connected to intellectuality, interest in art, generally more tolerance and less judgementality and intelligence. People too high in conscientiousness tend to be extremely narrow and career focused. So, not a great foundation for any kind of relationship. I mean look at people like Elon Musk who work all the damn time. No chance to connect with them.

    • @AutumnRaine1
      @AutumnRaine1 Рік тому +3

      I advise against labeling any of these traits at good or bad. I also advise against mistaking tendency for certainty. Someone high in openness may be more likely to cheat on you, but that doesn’t mean they will. At the end of the day, choice governs a lot, and who a person chooses to be is often who they end up being. Additionally, everyone is different. For example, if you’re high in openness, being with someone who is much lower in openness will most likely lead to frustration. The big 5 might be a good guide, but certainly not an end all be all.

    Life is not perfect, and you will never find a perfect partner. You just find someone who makes you happy and ticks as much as the boxes as possible. But don't expect perfection or you will never be happy with who you find. Everyone has flaws, some just more than others. I guess life is about compromises. It's like friends, there's just some things you don't like about them, but they have redeeming qualities too.

    John Gottman's research about successful marriages is also really interesting and helpful.
    One of his results is that fighting is important because it allows conflicts to be resolved. But at the same time, fighting cannot be no-holds-barred: people in successful relationships are always repairing the relationship, even during a fight and definitely afterward. Something like: "You really need to clean up after yourself. *sigh* you're lucky you're so good looking *laugh*" is not the perfect thing to say but it allows the speaker to complain but they are not completely devaluing their partner (they are reconfirming that they want to stay in the relationship while at the same time asking for change).

I had a boyfriend before him that was very unreliable and caused only anxiety and heartbreak. Then I met my husband and I was like "oh, that's what a relationship is supposed to feel like." Butterflies even after 14 years, but a sense of calm and having come home.

    Those are just the big 5 personality traits. You don't really change or control those, they're just the 5 major traits that modern psychology has identified as the basic components of personality. Recommending that we avoid people with high neuroticism and high openness is practically saying that two fifths of the human population don't deserve to be in a relationship. Understanding the big 5 personality traits, along with the strengths and weaknesses that go along with each one, seems like it would go much farther in getting you into a healthy relationship than just nixing anyone that's high in either of two of them.
