YOGYAKARTA – Understanding a partner's strengths or strengths may be easier than understanding their weaknesses. Because weakness is often not present as it is, sometimes it is often obscured by expectations that are too high.

According to Alice Boyes, Ph.D. reported by Psychology Today, Monday, April 4, recognizing the weaknesses and strengths of a partner is important in building a healthy relationship. In a romantic partnership, you and your partner need to explore what each person is good at. Even the weaknesses also need to be understood.

Wouldn't it be more fun if you got a partner who knows you very specifically. The goal is to understand so that the relationship goes well. But what to watch out for, we tend to judge a partner from the positive side rather than objectively.

The second explanation, according to Boyes, is that by recognizing the weaknesses and strengths of each individual who has a long-term commitment, it will be easier to find creative solutions. This creative solution has to do with partners and their social relationships. For example, how to keep a partner's secret and trust each other and be trusted to hold on to it. Mutual trustworthiness and holding tight secrets need to be based on knowledge of each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Boyes also added, recognizing and accepting partners as they are, can be beneficial for mutually supporting mental conditions. Anxiety is a problem that often becomes a problem in relationships. In relationships, accommodating partner's anxieties as part of trusting a relationship is always accessible to each other. Therefore, you and your partner can depend on each other to be more 'human'.

Weakness is a person's vulnerable side. Everyone certainly has this side with different driving factors. However, in most scenarios we don't need much active help to feel supported. Even very small gestures can communicate support.

Knowing what your partner has in common, including their vulnerabilities, weaknesses, strengths, needs, and how to support each other, is a meaningful aspect for each partner. That is, the criteria for a partner who is tall, handsome, and has the same hobby may be less than enough. Mature and successful relationships usually have subtle factors, such as knowing, accepting, and supporting each other in specific ways.
