My Man

and our

Happy, Healthy Relationship

He Is...

Happy. He loves life. He learns from life. He lives his dreams. He lives to be his best self and does not let bad experiences ruin or define him. He chooses to be happy.

Responsible. He does what he says he will do. He does what needs to be done whether he has been asked to or not. He takes responsibility for himself, his actions, and the consequences of his actions. He does not blame others. He makes educated and responsible decisions. He actively works to right wrongs. He works instead of complaining. He is not afraid to admit when he makes a mistake. He recognizes and lives by the principle that he is responsible for his life, no one else.

Respectful. He respects himself and others. He celebrates differences. He celebrates individuality. He respects others' thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. He respects free-agency. He respects each individual's authority over his or her own life. He respects boundaries. He respects opinions. He respects 'no'. He respects life, nature, children, and elders. He handles arguments and disagreements with respect for both himself and the other party. He does not allow others to push him around, nor does he try to push anyone else around.

Forgiving. He understands the healing power of forgiveness. He knows how to forgive. He learns from the past and does not hold on to anger or resentment. He lets things go.

Honest. He is honest with himself and others. He is trusting and trustworthy. He is clear with his intentions and lives and acts according to what he thinks and says. He has integrity.

Kindhearted. He is kind to himself and others. He sees the best in people. He cares about and helps people. He treats everyone as cherished human beings. Slow to anger and quick to forgive.

Loving. He has a generous capacity for love. He allows himself to feel love deeply. He expresses love freely. He is not afraid of love. He accepts love. He cherishes those that he loves, and he cherishes love that is given to him.

Good with Kids. He loves Sean and Constance and enjoys interacting with them. He has a firm and loving parenting style that complements mine.

Healthy. He is physically healthy. He makes healthy choices and is rarely sick. He prefers 'natural' health and healing. He stays active and keeps himself physically fit. He takes good care of his body without being overly obsessive about it.

Spiritual. He has a strong sense of his own divine nature and a reverence for and connection with a higher power.

Successful. He works well in a career he enjoys, feels good about, and is all-around happy with, or he is actively working toward such a career. He earns more than enough money to live comfortably on. He manages his money well and is both generous and frugal.

Balanced. He is balanced in all things. He is both confident and humble. Sensual but not driven by sex. Hardworking and fun, serious and silly. He loves, respects, and cares for himself just as much as others, and others as much as himself. He keeps himself and his life in balance.

...He is also majorly attractive, ultra-stylish, and totally individual!

In our relationship...

We are equal partners.

He appreciates me for all I am as a woman and I appreciate him for all he is as a man. We are not the same but we are equal.

He treats me differently because I am a woman, but never less. He allows me to be a stereotypical woman and still respects me as an equal, even when he doesn't understand me.

I support him in all his manly roles, but it is not my job to take care of him. I value all he does for me as a man, but I don't make it his job to take care of me, either.

We support each other equally. We care for each other equally. We share work equally and divide roles equally, according to what we each are best at. We make important decisions together, with each partner having equal say, and we respect each others' individual decision making power in his or her own roles, and for the smaller everyday things.

We are strongly unified and still equally strong as individuals.

We each have our own opinions, friends, interests, etc., and that's OK!

We are a team. We never doubt each others' loyalties.

We respect one another.

We are confident and secure enough in ourselves and our relationship to avoid jealousy.

We are open and honest while maintaining and respecting a healthy measure of privacy.

We are not at all controlling or manipulative.

We practice good communication.

We clearly and respectfully express to each other what we want and need.

We listen to each other and always do our best to understand each other.

We each respect the other's thoughts and feelings.

We fight fairly.

We are slow to anger and quick to forgive.

It is safe for us to make and admit mistakes.

We do not hold on to old hurts. We let things go.

We look for the win-win in every situation.

We appreciate each other.

We love the little things about each other.

We never take the other for granted.

We see the best in each other.

We recognize and value each others' good efforts, intentions, actions, talents, etc.
