The role of predictability in a relationship

The word “predictable” carries with it a slightly negative connotation. We tend to think of predictable people as slightly boring and we usually do not want others to think they have completely sussed us out. It is, however, important to be predictable to some degree in your romantic relationship. For example, we all want our partners to be reliable, punctual, honest, dependable, etc., and these are qualities we would do well to cultivate in ourselves. However, to keep a relationship interesting and keep our partner enthralled, we have to sometimes do or say the unexpected thing. Romance thrives on excitement and novelty, and we should bring this to our relationship as much as we can. The trick is to keep a balance when it comes to being predictable, and this we can all do. © 2009, 2012 Marilyn Welch Would you love to meet your soulmate in this year?
