Pursuing Love? Here are 7 Skills You Must Master First

Updated: Jul 24, 2023

Love can be one of the greatest gifts life has to offer, but it can also be a challenging journey. Being in a committed, successful relationship isn't just about finding 'the one'; it's about being the person you need to be to attract and maintain a healthy relationship.


As high achieving women, we may find ourselves basking in our professional accomplishments, but often forget to give our personal lives that same level of attention.😩 Before jumping into a relationship, there are essential skills we must master to ensure our journey towards love is rewarding and fulfilling.


1. Self-Love:


It's essential to develop a deep sense of love and appreciation for oneself before welcoming someone else into our lives. When we know our worth and accept ourselves for who we are, we won't settle for less in a relationship. This skill is a constant work-in-progress, but taking the time to work through past traumas and insecurities can help you solidify your relationship with yourself.


2. Communication Skills:


Effective communication is crucial in any relationship. Being able to express yourself honestly and clearly will help build trust, intimacy and prevent misunderstandings. The skill also entails actively listening, understanding your partner's perspective, and having the patience to resolve conflicts without disconnecting emotionally. The cheat code: mastering both effective and loving communication skills. Yup, you guessed it, we teach all our Before Boaz® members to master BOTH.


3. Vulnerability:


Opening your heart to someone can be scary, but it's necessary in building authentic connections. Vulnerability involves being comfortable with your emotions and sharing them with your partner. It's about being bold enough to show your flaws and trust that they won't judge or reject you; this builds emotional intimacy.


4. Flexibility and Adaptability:


Being in a relationship requires a degree of flexibility and the ability to adapt to changes as they come. This means reframing challenges as opportunities for growth and being willing to compromise. Having a flexible attitude can help sustain a healthy relationship in the long run.


5. Empathy:


Empathy entails understanding and relating to your partner's feelings and needs. It is the ability to put yourself in their shoes and feel what they're feeling. It breeds kindness, a deeper connection, and a level of trust that fosters intimacy.


6. Assertiveness:


When things are not working or when something is bothering you, speaking up can be challenging. Assertiveness is a critical skill that can help you express your needs, boundaries and assert yourself when necessary. It's about balancing communication without becoming passive, aggressive, or resentful.


7. Spiritual Discipline:


A committed relationship is a journey of growth and self-improvement that requires a clear understanding of your moral compass and the ability to communicate your beliefs to your partner. Being unequally yoked brings chaos and confusion. Take time to strengthen your spiritual walk and get anchored in your beliefs with certainty, so that you can have clarity to recognize who does and who does not deserve to experience your energy.


Pursuing a relationship requires a level of emotional intelligence that involves developing and mastering these essential skills. The journey to love may not be smooth, but investing in yourself will not only help you be found by the right partner, but also build a fulfilling and successful relationship. Take the time to work on these skills and watch how they make a significant difference in your life!
