Do Not Attempt to Change or Control the Other:
Mature love accepts the self and others as they are. One lover does not try to change or control the other. This does not assume the partners like everything about themselves or the other, but they are able to put dislikes into perspective. That is, the best romances based on realism.
Though it may sound simple enough, one of the most difficult part...s of love is learning t accept ourselves and others as we are. Life and relationships are filled with choices for us to make..
If we choose to be with someone, accepting this person is a symptom of unhealthy dependency. And as anyone who has ever tried to change a lover knows, it never works. Never. Many a relationships has sunk against that reef of grief! -Brenda Schaffer
