Usually, women dream of a tall, dark, handsome, caring, loving & funny partner. They look for a perfect man who fulfills every economic, social, emotional, and spiritual need, the man comes home on time, never drinks, never cheat, never flirts, cleans after himself, remembers everything (birthdays, anniversaries, etc), cooks for you, buys flowers-occasionally, and will always be there for you.
For a man the partner should be beautiful, pure, dutiful, earning, caring, soft, sweet, delicate, obedient, adjusting, family-oriented, and many more. Our ideal partner differs from one another. Both look for Mr. Perfect and Ms. Perfect.
The greatest irony of a human being is that we search for perfection in all relationships when we ourselves are imperfect beings. There is no such thing as a perfect relationship. A perfect relationship is one where “You live and let live, understanding is deep, and you respect the other person’s individuality.”
It’s okay to have an imperfect relationship and still enjoy it. You should aim more to have a great relationship not a “perfect one”.
For you to have a relationship that you can enjoy instead of a perfect one, these are a few things you should do;
- You should be accepting of each other (flaws and all). Understand there is no perfect person including you. Any idea of perfection in your head should fly out immediately.
- You need love and trust in your relationship to make it a great one. The key to any relationship lasting long is tightly knitted in love and trust. In a relationship, love must run deep so that that even a thought of the person will bring a smile to your lips and heart.
