5 Major Weaknesses of Cholerics That Negatively Impacts Their Relationship
1. High-handedness:
A choleric is a very forceful and pushy personality when it comes to getting something done or accomplished. No other temperament can be ruthlessly more forceful and overly ambitious than a hot choleric. He is a very hard-working, productive and capable individual, who does not have time for frivolities or horseplay. He loves work and activity, and this makes his partner complain often of neglect and abandonment, but he’ll lash out at them, and justify it with the fact that he’s working to provide everything that the family needs.
He’s a very ambitious person, who does not leave room for any act of unserious or non-chalant attitude when it comes to achieving his goals. For him, work time is work time, it’s no time for jokes or being emotional. In marriage, he’ll often drive his partner crazy with his high-handed and over burdening lifestyle, all in a bid to meeting his target. He could decide to make a rule that everyone must cut down their meal ration by a quarter, just so he could save more money to accomplish his personal project.
He could also make his partner work longer hours than is necessary, in order to meet his goal for the day. His frequent and inadvertent trampling on the rights of others, particularly his spouse, often breeds conflicts in his marriage, which negatively affects it. But if he can put the rights of others into consideration before doing anything, he’ll have less crisis in his marriage and less conflicts with people.
2. Hard To Please:
This is another major weakness of the choleric temperament. A Choleric is very hard to please, eventhough he feels contended and satisfied with what you’ve done, he will still find it very difficult to commend or applaud you. He often believes commending or applauding you, will make you feel too important, and you become complacent about your job. He is the type that will hardly applaud and compliment their partner for looking beautifully dressed, despite the fact that he admires them. Cholerics ought to know that people working under or with them, particularly their spouse, looks up to them for approval, and if they can develop the attitude of commending or applauding those working for or with him, it will definitely spur them to do more and better.
3. Unsympathetic:
Amongst all the temperaments, a choleric has the least developed emotions. He’s a very callous and unsympathetic person, who often finds it difficult empathizing with others, and deeply feel their Pains. The tears of others often drives him berserk, and he finds no justifiable reason why they should cry. He is the type of individual that is not patient enough to empathize with their partner and console them during their moments of grief, not because he’s a wicked person, but that’s just their nature. He will often be seen angrily yelling at them for being so inconsolable. But if cholerics can be a bit more patient in commiserating with those who are grieving or ❤️ heartbroken, he’d have a happier and peaceful marriage or interpersonal relationship.
4. Making Unilateral Decisions:
Cholerics are very determined and decisive individuals. They love to make decisions for themself as well as for others, and this attitude sometimes does not go down well with the people they’re supposed to work side by side with. In marriage, they love to be the boss, and the one making all the decisions in their home, without deeming it necessary to seek the input and opinion of their partner. This often breeds inner anger in their partner and consequently leads to conflicts, especially when their unilateral decisions does not yield the desired succeess. Cholerics needs to realize that marriage isn’t a master- servant relationship, but a mutually symbiotic relationship. Thus, they must make deliberate efforts in carrying their partners along in every decision making, in order to have a ☮️ peaceful and successful marriage.
5. Inconsiderate:
All the weaknesses of the choleric from number 1 to 4 are hinged around lack of consideration for the next person. However, being overly or excessively considerate of others is also a form of weakness. But cholerics must endeavor to strike a balance between considerate and total lack of consideration for others if they want to have a ☮️ peaceful relationship or marriage. I will advocate for them to be moderately considerate of others, in order to build a more peaceful and harmonious relationship.
How Can Cholerics Overcome Their Temperament Weaknesses?
In one of my previous post about how to manage the weaknesses associated with our temperament. I made it clear that influence is one of the major way we could be able to manage our temperament weaknesses. When we always interact and relate with other persons whose got a temperament different from ours, we unknowingly influence each other with our basic temperament strengths and qualities. As a typical choleric, by relating and interacting more closely with a typical melancholy, despite how assertive and domineering, you may be, you’ll no doubt be gradually influenced by their strengths and qualities. And the melancholy or perhaps phlegmatic will also become influenced by your courageous, decisive, dogged and self- sufficient qualities. This helps to balance and augment our individual strengths and weaknesses, and also shapes our character.
However, in addition to managing our temperament weaknesses through influence, it’s also important that we consider permanently overcoming or getting rid of them. It’s for this reason I want to recommend the Spirit controlled temperament written by Tim Lahaye to you. This book made a huge difference in my life, in my early stages when I was battling with low self-esteem and self-persecution. From the spiritual point of view, this book will quickly help you to get rid of these weaknesses, and you’ll for a fact become a better and more refined choleric.
