I have often looked at other couples and thought that they had the perfect marriage/relationship. I do not consider myself as part of that group. Tom and I could not be more opposites if we tried. Tom loves to read non-fiction, I read trashy novels. He loves to write while I love to watch TV. Yet somehow we have found a way to make our relationship work for over 9 years. I have begun to wonder if the “perfect” relationships that I seem to think exist actually do. I wonder if there ever really is a relationship that has no disagreements or arguments in it. If they do exist, are the people in it being real? When you think about it, we are two different people and will at some point have different views on things (or at least should). If we are not disagreeing perhaps we are not being ourselves. I have also wondered how hard others work on their relationships. Tom and I put a lot of effort into making our relationship work. (Correction: I think that I put a lot of effort into making it work, Tom would say that he doesn’t have to work hard, he is just a natural at it.) However I think I keep him on his toes and require him to put some work into it every so often. 🙂 And I make no secret of the fact that Tom and I have our ups and downs. I guess it only works if you have more ups than downs.
Do you think you have the perfect relationship? If so, please share the secret to your success.
