Perfect relationship- reality or fantasy?

“The question of whether there really is anything as a “perfect relationship” is indeed one that attracts interesting responses and by ‘interesting’…..trust me, there can’t be a better word. I decided to check out on personal opinions regarding the idea and am WOWED!! On a scale of 1- 100, dividing between ‘ladies’ and ‘gents’; 50% of the ladies believe there is no such thing, 44% do believe that it does exist and amongst the gents, about 45% believe it doesn’t exist and 32% believe it does exist. These ratings almost subconsciously point out (between thin lines though) that more ladies have had it bad and opted out in their relationships yet, More are hopeful or have experienced perfect relationships than our gents. Although, this isn’t my area of concentration.

Anyway, is there really anything like a perfect relationship? From my responses, I’ve summed this up. That “PERFECTION” can actually be defined personally. It isn’t a general yard-stick for measuring every other relationship (that is, what a couple sees as its perfection, can just be the first step of another’s). It just depends on where they have placed common ground and have accepted themselves for themselves. No two person/individuals are perfect, but, were two imperfect people come together in an agreement placing their standard, which could be their trust in each other (despite all odds), ensuring that no day goes by without communicating, (even if there a HOT disagreement), and the likes,……..this imperfection can be overlooked infact, it can almost be erased. This creates not just an illusion of a perfect relationship, but a reality of it too.

I asked someone on his take on the idea, and he said “perfect match, haven’t u heard that before?” I paused! And indeed it is true…”these perfect matched couples” don’t necessarily look alike, talk alike, walk, smile or dress alike,, they fight, they argue, they might even have had a break and gotten back in between. So why are they perfectly matched again? (You wonder). Well, they’ve created that common ground, they’ve found their strength together, in their imperfect (singular) weakness. They attained their yard-stick for measuring their union.

Remember a relationship is imperfect if you choose to use personal (individual) measurements or another’s measurement for it. It only becomes a perfect union/relationship which is a perfect friendship, when both realize they are two in one and create a standard for themselves. P:s also- without God there can’t a PERFECT RELATIONSHIP.   - Howson-wright foluke
