Being contented doesn't mean that your partner is perfect but you became contented because you have accepted him/her, not only his/her positive traits and best features, but also accepting his/her flaws and weaknesses. Once you learned to accept your partner for being what and who he/she is, you will also be contented and your relationship will most likely be successful and stable. Third party will be avoided, as well as temptations. That's why we should learn to be contented with our partner. Let's all be stick to one. :D

Hi miss cloud31! Yes I am proud to say that I am already contented with her. From the moment we first met, I have already decided that this special girl will be the one I will fight my love for. That’s why along the way of our relationship, even I found some not so good things about her, I accepted it. And if ever there are still other not so good things that I will find out, I am very willing to accept it, simply because I am already contented with her. And no one but her that I wanted to share the rest of my life with. I'm just hoping she feels the same. Thank you for dropping by. May you always have a lovely day!

Hi annavi23! Yes, true love leads to contentment. Because once you truly love a person, you will accept that person wholeheartedly and there will be no space for a possible third party. Thanks for commenting.

COntentment. Sometimes this is hard to obtain. We seldom look for people who we really like and the qualities we want in a certain person but then come on, we are all human. Meaning we are not perfect. The ones we choose to love is what we choose among ourselves. Try to be contented on what they can give you and not tell them that you want them to be like someone they never were. It's not fair to treat them that way.

Yes, the characteristics of the person that we are dreaming for are not always present to the person we will love. Love is quite mysterious. But once we fall in love, it is the uniqueness of that person that we will accept. And once you accepted him/her, you will also be contented with what he/she possess. True love is the main reason why we are learning to be contented with our partners. Avoiding temptations will also not be difficult once you are truly in love. Thanks for responding.

Hi there Harold KS!
You're right. Loving a person does not limit your acceptance and appreciation of his positive characteristics but the whole person, as is. It is also a fact that you will always find someone who seemed to be a better one but if you nurture the love that you have for a person, you will learn to be contented and to value what you have.

i think it should be more of acceptance, and try to compromise on the things that seems to cause conflict. if we are to be content of what is at hand, then the relationship would tend to be stagnant, no room to grow or improve, unless if you are 'really happy' of what you have. sustaining a relationship should include initiating things that would create interest on each other and never being content on what you could give more.

Yes, you have a good point. Contentment and acceptance are synonymous and of course that doesn't mean that partners will not do anything or make any adjustment. They will also try to adjust for the benefits of their partners but of course there are limitations, things that we really cannot improve anymore and that is where acceptance will enter. That is why contentment and acceptance is very important in a relationship. Thanks for the response.

I am totally contented of course with my boyfriend and I feel like I've already accomplished my big dreams in terms of love life relationship. I mean the fact that he respects me and value me as a woman, love me and he is trustworthy, he is also my strong motivator then I don't need to ask for more. We should be really stick to one and if we tend to become a two timer then that is not love anymore.

Those qualities you have mentioned are more than enough reasons to be contented. Respect and trust are major factors that makes relationship stable and harmonious. Congrats and have a great day!

Yep, totally. I realized this when I was about to enter a romantic relationship a second time, but I was feeling hesitant 'cause there was something missing. I thought about it for a while and arrived at a conclusion that I wasn't contented with all of it that's why even though there were still feelings involved on both sides, I opted out. You see, that's 'cause I had already experienced being completely contented before, and I couldn't seem to compromise that.

Yes, we will have a better relationship if we will learn to be contented with our partner. Relationship will not last if there is no contentment. That is important. Thanks for the response.

So long term relationships are usually the best because thats when you get to know your partner the best and you have learned his ins and outs. Its a struggle at times and i will tell you taht but in the end its worth it all. I fight allt e time it seems like with my boyfriend offer stupid things but then we forget about it and what not LOL. We then move forward on other things in life as well.
I think allr elationships have there ups and downs but finding that happy medium of course is always the best.

I have to agree that long term relationship is good because you started the hard situation but later on when you meet, all hard works and patience pays off. And it will lead to a successful relationship. Thanks for the response.

A very good point indeed. If the we all accepted the weakeness and strength of our partners, we would have a better relationship.

That would be for sure. Once we accept our partner for being him/her, that would result to lasting and harmonious relationship. Have a good day!
