It is always advisable to accept your partner for who he or she is and not to try changing him or her. Here are some of things you can never change about a person:
1. Personality. It is nearly impossible to get someone to behave exactly the way you’d like. People are who they are, and though some personality traits are due to social conditioning, there is no way to turn your partner into a “perfect” version of how you think he or she should act and be.
2. How your partner relates to his or her family. Families, especially your partner’s parents, can be a touchy subject, and if any sort of criticism of them comes into the conversation, it’s like walking into a minefield: an explosion can happen at any time. People’s feelings about their own families are deeply ingrained, and they are not likely to alter significantly after you tie the knot.
3. Hobbies. Couples who take up similar hobbies or active pursuits together are much happier because these shared experiences bring novelty and excitement to the relationship. That being said, it’s important for partners to have separate hobbies and interests that add to their overall happiness. Asking a partner to change or stop their routine hobbies will only cause contempt and set the relationship on an unfavourable course.
4. Religious beliefs. Religious beliefs are something that is ingrained in you, and often these beliefs have been passed down in your family.
