The Only Relationship Standard You Should Have

Lasting Love is the result of a powerful strategy. Ready to get started? Click here to learn the strategy (it's free)

Let’s face it—we all like to imagine we will stumble upon the perfect person.

We select the ideal salary, appearance, intellect, personality and habits of this fictional character and then store that image in the back of our minds while dating. As harmless as this may seem, it can actually wreck your love life.

I’m all for having dating standards, but a standard should be set to ensure happiness, not prevent being open to happiness from the start. Healthy relationships aren’t built upon a man’s height or wallet size, but rather the size of his heart.

Today I dive into the only real dating standard that should exist while you’re trying to meet new people and have the love life you seek. There’s definitely a right and wrong way to restrict your options in dating.

What standards have you learned to be most important in your dating experiences? What kind of situations taught you to feel the way you do?

Your Coach,
Adam

Hey Adam.
I watched the video, I totally agree. I do have a question for you though. How important do you think sexual compatibility is in a relationship? Do you think its a standard to be held? Do you feel it is a deal breaker?

If the sex is bad I think it’s a deal breaker. The question is if there is any chance to improve?

I have the same question as Debbie as I often find guys who I feel good being around, but seldomly are sexually attracted to them. So should I sacrifice sexual chemistry to get a relationship?

Hi Christine,

You shouldn’t have to! You can meet men who you’re attracted to and feel great around, it’s just a little more difficult to find. Don’t settle. It’s out there for you 🙂

I think this is spot on – I had some stupid rules about minimum income and only dating entrepreneurs and met and fell in love with an amazing man who has a way under my minimum income rule with a “regular” job.

He treats me with care and compassion…wants us to be long term but I can’t get past that he has females he talks to on messenger. I feel slighted and he doesn’t understand. Puts me in a negative mood and I’ve put walls back up. I don’t know how to get past this!!
