The kindness of my spouse is essential because she is the embodied representative of everything that I have espoused.Sunstone said:How important to you is it for your partner, spouse, or significant other to be kind?
Sunstone said:How important to you is it for your partner, spouse, or significant other to be kind?
Yeah, but at the same time people will understand that she is the kind of person that you are attracted to. You approve of her worldview.Darkdale said:I don't care as much about kindness and sensitivity as I do respectfulness. I also don't mind if someone is randomly grumpy or mean to me. People have their ups and downs and sometimes they don't treat each other as well as they should. I don't know, I don't think it is all that important. That is to say, I never catch myself thinking about whether or not my girlfriend is kind.

For example, if she is constantly being a billigerant bigot and saying hateful things about black people and homosexuals, we can assume that she acts the same way around you and you enjoy and approve of that kind of thing.
I don't want my friends coming up to me and saying, "Gosh, how do you live with that *****?"
Kindness can't hurt the health of a relationship, unless of course the "kindness" is not genuine.Darkdale said:Yeah, I'd say worldview is extremely important. We have very different religious beliefs, but as a pagan she shares a similar worldview. We both see reality the same way and we rarely ever argue over anything. I think the most important thing in our relationship, the strongest part, is our being supportive of each other. Whatever she decides she wants to do, I'm there for her, supporting her, encouraging her and trying to help. She tries her best to do the same. It makes for secure and satisfying relationship. I don't know if we are always "kind" to each other, it's such a vague word, but we are always supportive and always looking to see other thrive.
You must have warts on ya nose Ya ain't getting ahead without looking good and you'd know that if your brain wasn't in the biggest wart.Seyorni said:I think appearance is overrated.
Frubals to you! That's an interesting way of looking at it. I agree that I would love anyone who was kind, such is the value of kindness to me.FeathersinHair said:I think I could love anyone that was kind to others and themselves. (The latter is important, too!) I can't say the same about anyone that was rich, attractive, or powerful, but I could say it about that.
I disagree with you, and I unblushingly say that I'm an adonis. Though well-intentioned, fairly intelligent, and well-spoken when I try, I can be a horrible boor and, when slighted, can forget to show consideration for others. Because of my lesser qualities, I drove off two people whom I was beginning to fall deeply in love with in my lifetime. What's kept me attatched to my current mate is this: he is the kindest, most gentle, most forgiving, and most considerate person I've ever known, and every day that I know him, I, at least I hope, grow to be more like him, a fact that has brought me closer to my friends and helped me to make reconciliations with people I've had difficulty getting along with in the past. Good looks are good for getting people's attention and making a good first impression, but, after that, you're on your own. Just looking cute, by itself, has lasted me a month with people at maximum because, by that time, people have memorized every tiny flaw on your face and won't be able to see anything else if they don't like what's underneath.Think Bright said:You must have warts on ya nose Ya ain't getting ahead without looking good and you'd know that if your brain wasn't in the biggest wart.
