Many people believe that passion and commitment are the foundations of strong romantic relationships. But a relationship is made of two __ 26 __ individuals. And the personality traits（特性）these individuals __ 27 __ or lack can often make a relationship more—or less—likely to __ 28 __ . Recent research has found that one trait in particular—humility（谦逊）—is an important indicator of successful relationships.
Humility can sometimes be __ 29 __ with a lack of confidence. But researchers have come to realize that being humble generally indicates the __ 30 __ of deeply admirable personal qualities. Being humble means you have the ability to accurately __ 31 __ your deficiencies without denying your skills and strengths. For example, you might recognize that you are intelligent, but realize that you are not a __ 32 __ . Thus, humility leads to an honest view of one's own advantages and shortcomings. Humble people do not ignore, avoid, or try to deny their limits or deficiencies. They can __ 33 __ mistakes, see value in things that are far from perfect and identify areas for improvement.
Perhaps it is not __ 34 __ , then, that humility appears to be a huge asset to relationships. One study found that people tend to rate this quality __ 35 __ in their spouse. The study also found that someone who is humble is more likely to initiate a romantic relationship, perhaps because they are less likely to see themselves as “too good” for someone else. Thus, a humble partner might be your ideal partner.

许多人相信激情和承诺是恋爱关系稳固的基础。但一段关系是由两个 [26] 独特的个体组成的。而这些个体所 [27] 拥有或缺乏的个性特征往往会使一段关系更有可能或不太可能 [28] 持续下去。最近的研究发现，尤其有一种特质——谦逊——是成功的恋爱关系的重要指标。
谦逊有时会被 [29] 误认为缺乏自信。但研究人员已经意识到，谦逊通常意味着 [30] 拥有令人钦佩的个人品质。谦逊意味着你有能力准确 [31] 评估自己的不足，而不否认自己的技能和优势。例如，你可能认识到自己很聪明，但也明白自己不是 [32] 天才。因此，谦逊会使人诚实地看待自己的优点和缺点。谦逊的人不会忽视、回避或试图否认自己的局限或不足。他们会 [33] 承认错误，看到远非完美的事物的价值，并找出需要改进的地方。
那么，谦逊看起来是恋爱关系中的一笔巨大财富就没什么 [34] 奇怪的了。一项研究发现，人们往往对配偶的这种品质评价 [35] 很高。研究还发现，谦逊的人更有可能开始一段恋情，这可能是因为他们不太可能认为别人配不上自己。因此，一个谦逊的伴侣可能是你的理想伴侣。
