Can a relationship be perfect
Relationships are indubitably the most beautiful bonds among all. Do you ever just wonder what on earth, made the two of you fall for each other ? Well, if you do, here I list few elements of a flourishing relationship. Not for you to take it as a checklist rather, imbibe these in you, never to be broken. Of course, there are naturally some flaws in people and the habitat they build or live in. Never compare yourself with those you consider to be supreme and favoured in such matters. Be the trailblazer that you are and learn as you flow. And remember, life isn't a fairytale. Don't force yourself into being the ultimate #goals, these do sound hypothetical occasionally. I would love to hear from you all, your take and if you think I have missed anything quintessential.
- Respect the differences you share, comforts and discomforts, achievements and failures.
- Communicate your insecurities, fears, expectations.
- Grow with each other, for each other sans jealousy.
- Consent to any actions or decisions relevant potentially.
- Love the association you have built together.
- Cherish and Appreciate for life is unpredictable.
- Trust, the very base of a healthy relationship.
- Provide the space, independence and support as per your conveniences.
- Enjoy the little moments.
- Gratitude, never take your partner for granted, be grateful for the love that you have earned.
- Reciprocate for we always tend to grow expectations from our loved ones.
- Time, one can always spend some quality time with their partner however, occupied their lives happen to be.
- Boundaries, not indulging or engaging in uncomfortable or non-consensual activities.
@trueconfidant123 Hey True. This was a very beautiful read; however, I definitely don't think any relationship amongst humans can be perfect. My reason is simple-- because no one living is perfect and perfection simply does not exist. We as humans all have potential for good and for bad. That just comes with being imperfect humans and that is perfectly ok. Yet still, despite flaws and faults, we can still find ourselves falling in love with another person. We can fall in love for many reasons. That person can treat you with the utmost respect, love you, embrace your flaws, accept you, appreciate you, and make you feel like the most important person in the world.... and that is beautiful. But for me, love is not all positive and feelings of butterflies. Love can be hard, it goes through struggles and it is about overcoming it together. Relationships consist of 2 imperfect humans so I just do not see it possible for it to be perfect. Plus in my opinion, it is the unpleasant feelings that spark flame and emotion and passion. I absolutely enjoyed reading your list and I agree with everything you wrote in that sense. From respect, to communication, to telling the truth, to setting boundaries, all the way to enjoying the small things in life. There is so much beauty in life to be seen and we can find it in others. I think that is what makes it beautiful loving and falling in love and making the decision to stay in love and work through things. I am a realist so this is just all what I think. I know some people believe that there are people perfect for them and that is ok too. Either way, the ability to love is a beautiful thing. And I am not just talking romantic love.

Hey Caring Confidant! I really appreciate your views. We must learn to embrace ourselves the way we are. No two beings are perfect. The imperfections together in a way make for what we call- love. Not specifically romantic but any relationships for that matter.
@trueconfidant123 write more, please. Your writing is magical.
Great list to always remember. But, I never yet seen any perfect relationship. We can try to make it as beautiful as can be, but in the end, when things are tough to keep going, which it always comes to that, it all comes back to commitment to not giving up.
@rainApple
Thank you for your words. I'll keep them going.
Perfectionism is not what we should seek. Like I mentioned, it's hypothetical but not unachievable. And commitment of course is the least we wish for.
@trueconfidant123 I just came to say I really like that artwork!

Thank you 😊
No relationship, whatever kind of, is perfect. If one strives for a perfect relationship then one will be looking forever.
@dukeofdearham
I agree.
