Women
and men have ways of motivating each other for the greater mutual
success. The need for a partner with drive and ambition is an
overarching common criterion among people looking for healthy
relationships.Ambition affects how we choose our partners and is an
attractive quality when a person gives you the confidence that they will
always be looking to improve on their successes. It begs the question
of what role ambition plays in the dynamic of our relationships; how do
we reconcile our need for better things? It is important to know that
when ambition, positively or negatively motivated, is driving or
dragging on your partnership. Here are just a few ways ambition plays a
significant role in a relationship:
Career:
This is where the prospect of ambition becomes a two-pronged situation. Ambition is a dangerous factor in the scope of a relationship – it can bring goal-oriented love birds together or it can split you in two different directions. Someone ambitious for a life as a successful writer who is dating someone ambitious for immediate success in a finance career might have a hard time making that work. Our level of ambition affects the way we make career and social choices.
Finances:
The notion that “love conquers all” is difficult to uphold when you have a mortgage to pay. This, of course, is different than gold digging. However, when people are looking for their potential life-long mate, they are essentially searching for someone who is, or plans to be, financially stable. In that reality, ambition walks hand in hand with how far you’re willing to take your relationship.
Love:
Ambition should, at the very least, determine what kind of partner you pursue. It’s unfair to pursue someone who won’t help you achieve the things for which you’re ambitious. While it isn’t someone else’s job to adjust their entire life strategy in the interest of solely supporting the life you want, you should find someone who is willing to compromise in the means of supporting both you and their endeavors. In this sense, you should also make sure that you are both following paths that are more or less on the same track. The search of lasting love, being taken care of emotionally and being loved for who you are all timeless notions.
