I absolutely loved this post from one of my favorite bloggers. Definitely worth a read.
Snippet: What to look for in a partner: I once interviewed a psychologist for a column, and I asked him readers’ questions about what to look for in a mate. Without fail, his answer to almost every question was “choose someone kind, choose someone kind.” It was like a broken record, and I was annoyed. But you know what? Being with somebody who is fundamentally kind — to children and waiters and dogs — means that at the end of the day, they will be kind to you.
I completely agree with this. Kindness is so SO important. If you are with someone who has a good heart, everything else can be worked out. That’s why I feel very lucky with Will. He’s respectful to everyone he encounters, he cares about the people in my life just as much as he cares about me. And he loves me so much and is always kind. It’s not always rainbows and butterflies, but at the end of the day even through the struggles we face I know I’m with a good person who loves me as much as I love him.
