There are a lot of traits required to be suc?cess?ful at dat?ing and being in a lov?ing rela?tion?ship, but one res?onates the?most:

Courage

It is needed in all stages of love relationships.

With?out courage one can?not be suc?cess?ful in find?ing a part?ner and being a part of a lov?ing, healthy rela?tion?ship. So many express pos?sess?ing a lack of courage to date again after a painful breakup, but at each stage in a rela?tion?ship it is essen?tial to have courage if being happy with the right per?son is the?goal.

It takes courage to become vul?ner?a?ble, to open one?self to the prospect of dat?ing. Some refuse to date because of the rejec?tion that comes from the process of find?ing a part?ner. This will be an imped?i?ment for many in meet?ing prospects and dating.

Oth?ers are able to take those ini?tial steps to find a part?ner. The trial-and-error expe?ri?ence of meet?ing new peo?ple and first dates is not daunt?ing. But once in a rela?tion?ship that is com?fort?able, when both part?ners have set?tled in, there can be dis?com?fort in express?ing needs and desires to feel ful?filled. Main?tain?ing har?mony becomes para?mount while ris?ing dis?con?tent from not hav?ing needs met begins to set?tle?in.

On another level, there are those who have lit?tle fear of the dat?ing process and pos?sess solid com?mu?ni?ca?tion skills, but fall short in another area. Once com?fort?able in a rela?tion?ship, it is hard to move for?ward if the rela?tion?ship should end. There could have been a dis?cov?ery of a non-negotiable trait the part?ner pos?sesses or hurt?ful behav?ior that should not be tol?er?ated, but the rela?tion?ship is com?fort?able. It has become like a habit; not nec?es?sar?ily happy with it, but unable to break?away.

There are times in a lov?ing, suc?cess?ful rela?tion?ship when one can become deeply hurt by the other. A part?ner could have been unfaith?ful, dis?con?nected emo?tion?ally, chose not to be phys?i?cally present, or with?held affec?tion. Anger and resent?ment can set in. By shut?ting down and not being emo?tion?ally acces?si?ble, there is def?i?nitely a way to min?i?mize the pain felt, but no way to be open to reconciliation.

With?out courage one is robbed of great?joy.

Be coura?geous in?love.

It?s worth the?risk.
