Perfect Sometimes Isn't Worth It

Couples will admit that it takes conscious effort to nurture a healthy relationship. During those first exciting stages of dating, everyone is on their best behaviors. It can be hard to find fault with one another. Everything feels perfect.

Those minor character flaws may be perceived as endearing or quirky in the beginning. Six months later, they can be seen as perpetually annoying habits or unbearable irritants. Either way, nothing's perfect and that's what makes it perfect. (I knowit's a paradox. But life itself is one big paradox if you haven't already noticed).

My point is this: In order to realize perfection,' you must first experience imperfection. It's the same with saying you cannot know happy' if you've never known sadness.' One side of the equation cannot exist without the other. That's the paradox of life!

So don't get too caught up trying to define a perfect relationship or compare your relationship with others to get some sort of validation. No two couples are the same. What works best in your relationship may not necessarily work well for another couple.

So remember: Perfect is nothing but a word to describe what appeals to you most. We say it's perfect when things go our way. We say it's perfect when two people come together happily. So you see, it's just a word associated with being content.

Simply put: If you're in a relationship that puts you in a good state of mind, then, you are in a perfect' relationship. And if you're still looking for that perfect' person, keep in mind they don't need to be perfect in all that they do, just as long as they're a perfect fit for you.
