Self-promotion is often seen as an integral part of being successful in the professional world, but does this hold true for our personal long-term relationships? Recent research suggests it might not be. Researchers found that people are more committed to their romantic relationship when they perceive their partner as being more humble. They speculate that a partner with great humility may be better able to negotiate conflict, allowing for a relationship that can repair itself when needed. Other research suggests that cultivating humility can improve your self-control and help you deal with stress.
