8 Signs That Your Partner is a Truly Good Person
5) They’re considerate
I think of someone being considerate when they don’t take the last donut without asking around first if anyone else wants it.
Also, I think of people who blast their stereos late at night as the opposite of that.
A considerate person thinks about the situation of others and acts in a way that does not harm, inconvenience, or treat them unfairly.
It has been demonstrated that even children as young as six years old often choose to act considerately.
When given a snack choice, they were shown to take a snack that still left a choice for another child, but only if another child was around. If nobody else was around, they selected the snack of their choice.
Taking other’s feelings and desires into account is the beginning of social-minded behavior.
It’s important to remember that a considerate partner will not only consider your feelings, but also the feelings of others. You’ll notice this in their altruistic and selfless behavior across the board.
6) They’re respectful
Respect was one of the major virtues revealed by that large cross-cultural study.
Despite having different meanings in different societies, this was found in every society studied.
In some cultures, this means respecting traditions and deferring to elders. In others, it means treating people with equal respect and being polite.
In your relationship, what does it mean?
When a partner respects and admires the other, there is no disdain or embarrassment in their relationship.
As a result, the person is appreciated for their positive qualities, and their negative qualities are accepted.
If your partner respects you, they won’t criticize you unfairly or blame you for things you didn’t do or couldn’t control.
7) They’re wise
The quality of wisdom is ephemeral and hard to define.
In addition to knowledge, wisdom includes certainty, experience, good judgment, and productive action.
Unlike pure intelligence, wisdom is accumulated over time, so it is only time that will tell if a person’s actions are wise or foolish.
However, if you’ve been with your partner for long enough, you’ll know if they have wisdom.
This highly respected quality will not be achieved if they consistently make mistakes and poor choices.
If they can use their experience, knowledge, and wit to make good choices most of the time, you and others will see them as wise.
An important component of a good person’s character is this.
8) They’re moral
As a teenager, I attended a morality lecture.
It wasn’t what you expected.
In general, morality is about knowing the difference between right and wrong, good and bad.
There’s no doubt that morality differs between cultures and even between individuals.
The speaker went on to discuss something now referred to as moral identity in psychology.
The degree to which each person follows their own morality can be defined as whether they choose to do what they believe is right or do things even though they believe they are wrong.
A whole group of people may essentially share the same morals, but not everyone has the same moral identity. Even in societies where sharing is considered good, there are still people who believe it, but choose not to share and instead accumulate incredible wealth.
If your partner is truly good, they’ll follow their own morals, even if this means losing out on other advantages.
It’s good news!
According to psychology, your partner is a great person if you recognize these eight signs; you will know for sure that it’s not just you who thinks so!
