Perfect Relationships

Well, many individuals these days are vying for a PERFECT RELATIONSHIP! But if we really think, nothing like this phrase really exists. I mean u must have heard that no being can be perfect or the best then how can you expect the same from your relationship!?
And when you say I WANT A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP! there is no we in it. You want everything to be perfect but are you ready to take a step towards it yourself? 
A perfect relationship is just a false expectation and only results in constant dissatisfaction.

There are happy relationships, not perfect ones! A relationship is happy when both partners strive to make their world complete and are ready to take equal measures to maintain harmony in it. 

So when would we call our relationship happy? Or how would you make your relationship happy? 

1. Trust and Honesty:

You shouldn't feel guilty about not being able to trust your partner as trust is something that has to be earned. For a relationship to be a happy place, it is essential that both partners are honest with each other. 

2. Self Reliance:-

Being happy with your mate is one thing but seeking happiness in your relationship is never healthy. It is a must that you as individuals come together to share your happiness and not hold your relationship responsible to make you happy. If you are content with your individual life only then can one relationship be a happy one. 

3. Mutual Respect:-

Your partner deserves to be respected and to be treated well. Respect isn't a word that is to be mouthed. It is a gesture that shouldn't be kept for occasions but should be practiced each day. It is a value that portrays that you know the worth of your partner in your life. 

4. Individualism:-

Being in a relationship does not mean any boundaries at all. It shouldn't be forgotten that before being in a relationship you are an individual. An individual that has their own interests, dreams, and space. Being together does not mean letting go of your own interests or enabling your partner to take control of your entire life. 

5. Realistic Expectations:

Expecting from your partner isn't wrong but it has to be kept in mind whether the expectations are achievable or not. Because higher expectations lead to constant dissatisfaction and thus leads to comparison.

6. Emotional Interdependence and not dependence:

It is normal for one to be involved in a partner quite more than other relations but one also has to be cautious of not depending entirely on the partner. Your happiness should come from different sources and holding one person responsible for it is never a good idea. 

The notion of "perfect relationship" is thus imperfect in itself. A relationship is happy only when the imperfections are handled graciously and where the incompatibilities are dealt with compatibility. Hope you derived your own lesson from this. Have a good day.
