It will make you attractive people both inside and out.

1) BALANCED: Balanced can mean many things, for the purposes of our article we mean that you and your partner have a good sense of boundaries. You and your partner are whole people having healthy lifestyles. More specifically, you and your partner know how to maintain boundaries and respect the boundaries of the other. You understand the difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness. You and your partner consider yourself whole entities without the addition of a partner. You don't feel you must have someone in your life in order to feel complete. You understand the need of a belief system that enhances and supports natural, authentic expression, but do not considered it a prerequisite to feeling whole. A healthy balance of activity is expressed in your lifestyle and means nothing is done in excess, but rather in moderation.

2) CONFIDENT: You and your partner are self-confident and have high self esteem. You are confident that you can handle new things, even if you have never done it before or if you may not get it right the first time around. You and your partner have an internal point of reference; you do not need to receive reassurance and complements from others to feel confident. At the same time you are confident enough to accept compliments or criticism, and are not afraid to give compliments to other people.

3) INDEPENDENT: You can be a functional person without always relying on another person. Codependency is a condition that results from dysfunctional patterns based on unhealthy relationships. These dysfunctional patterns are socially learned patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting which result in dependency on other people, places, organizations, things and events to create approval, appreciation, self worth and love to achieve a sense of safety, self esteem, purpose and identity.

6) EMPATHETIC: You and your partner are able to empathize with the emotions, point of view and experiences of your partner. You are able to sense what the other is thinking without being judgemental and/or trying to fix their situation.

7) UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: You and your partner understand the concept of unconditional love. You are able to love you partner whether you agree with their beliefs, emotions, feelings or behaviors at a given time.

8) ON PATH: A person who is on path observes of the laws of right vs. wrong and lives it during their day to day routine. It is an inspiration to be around others who are upbeat, pleasant and have an appreciation for what is right.

9) NON-RESISTANT TO CHANGE: You or your partner are not resistant to change. You and your partner understand and accept that change is a natural part of life.
