I believe many of the challenges in relationships today are rooted in focusing on the wrong things when choosing a partner.

The traits and qualities that make for a truly great spouse or life partner are often overlooked, unrecognized, or completely missed altogether.

Most are learned through experience, through heartbreak, through ‘failed’ or broken relationships that, in the moment, feel devastating. In reality, though, they can bring us some of life’s most valuable lessons about what truly matters.

Let’s explore 9 of the things that we should all strive to find in someone we choose to commit ourselves to:

1: They are steady.

Life can be a storm at times, and storms have a way of throwing things around that aren’t battened down to something secure.

Storms can be unpredictable, even when you know they’re coming. The last thing you need when you’re in the middle of a storm is to be tied to something that gets blown around in it. You’ll feel even less secure and less in control because of it.

If, though, you have a shelter, a sanctuary, a steady teammate during the storm, you can hold on and ride it out together.
