Perfect Match...

Philippines
September 11, 2012 6:19am CST
I guess almost all of us have ambitions of who we want to be someday, and what we want to achieve after finishing our chosen courses. All of us have dreamt to have a family and children of their own someday. But for those who have already started their family, have you found your perfect match (partner) to help you fulfill that dreams of yours? And for those who are still looking for their future match, will you stick to your goal or preference in life? Your thought guys...

I am lucky to have found my eternal partner, but we are not yet married since we are still on preparation. We've been together for 80 months, we're childhood lovers. We both have common goals in life especially on how we are going to raise our own family in the future. I am in no doubt will marry this person in near future.

I have her already my friend. And if I may say, we also have some rough times together, but I guess it's just part of being with a person who is very different from our self. And as the years of being together with the person I have chosen to spend my life with, both of us learned to accept it's others weaknesses and imperfections and to adapt what we have, to make it work for both of us.

I can say that I'm lucky because right now I'm with my dream guy. I was surprised when i found out that my boyfriend has all the qualities that I prayed for. Of course, he has also flaws but who doesn't have? It's only a matter of accepting the worst in him. I think that he is the one.

I'm happy for you my friend. We knew that there's no such thing as perfect, but as you have said you have found yours and he's almost. Every being is different from each other in many ways, but learning to accept our partner's imperfection and make it work for the benefit of both is the easiest way we could do to achieve our dreams in life.

I don't know someone today who has the ability to foresee the future. No one can, neither I. But, as of today I already have plans for the future, I have defined for myself what I really wanted and get contented with it. I will firmly stick to my preferences on life, that is the way I can see on how I will succeed on my plans.

Yeah, your right. One must have a goal or ambition of what he /she wants to be someday. And in order to achieved what he/she envisioned to be later in life, one had to stick to the plan. We knew that most of the time, it don't work the way we planned it to be. But we must also put in mind that man have limitations, so we must learn to accept what we have and make it work the way we want it to be.

I remember very well what the judge who officiated our wedding said before allowing us to seal the ceremony with a kiss: "you think you've met your perfect match?" We nodded but surprisingly he said "no, you haven't". His point was that we are human, we're not perfect. But then that's how a perfect human relationship is. You constantly adjust and love grows as you get to know each other better. My husband and I are not perfect, but I know that we can make our relationship very meaningful through the years. :)

Yes, there's no such thing as perfect in this word. And Us, being the most intelligent being created on Earth, we learned to adjust or must learn to make adjustment so that our dreams or goals could become a reality.

Looking back I would say in every aspect of what I have today is way out from what I dreamed of my PERFECT MATCH to be. I have done all that I could of letting go, of finding that match that I dreamed about but I will always end up coming back to my husband. He is not my ideal man, but when I decided to marry him I can say I love him so dearly that I have devoted my life and time to him so probably in that aspect no matter how I will be denying it...indeed I have found my PERFECT MATCH.

Yes, it's most likely that we wouldn't find what we wish to have or the partner we have dreamed for. Either some qualities are there but mostly none. And since partners are two different persons having been vowed to cling up to the end, both partners would most likely make some adjustment that would match each other's interests that would benefit both parties involved. Yes, finding a perfect match I think is almost impossible but if we make some adjustment and learned to accept what we can not have, we could settle for the next one.

Hi Stanley Of course, the day I saw her, and we came to know more about each other, I felt that she is the one for me. Today, after 5 years (hmmm... not a long time though but...) I do feel she is the perfect for me. We are opposites(if she said black, I dont know but I have to say white, kind of) in almost all spheres but still we bond together well. To be honest I dont know what a better match could have been or even if there is one, I dont need that one anymore as during the days we have been together, we have stood by each other in all our capabilities and capacities 9and sometimes beyond that) - love? Yes, the willingness to be together is more important - as we do believe we are made for each other.

After reading your comment my friend, I knew that you have found your match. By the way you have described meeting her the first time, I could imagine it as if it's a movie love story. I knew that not all us would have that luck and really tell that they too found the one they long to be with the rest of their life. Some would say that they may not found what they're looking, for but with trust, love and understanding it could surpass more than what anyone would wish for.

Hi, This is really a thoughful topic and needs to be analysed. Also, mostly while we are studying this question comes up, what we want to be in future and there are answer like, doctor, engineer, advocated, etc. etc., but I don't think any one opted for a 'house wife' or a better partner to my fiance. Again back to topic, from my experience, I already chosen (it reached to me by-default) and currently in a service area which I like so much. I was intended to any filed of art, but it didn't worked out for me as I was not so expert in any of the areas like singing, acting or anything, though I would participate in all. But for a living and an earning, I had to look out and what I am having presently is a good job and the people who live with me is also satisfied with it as what I am earning is more than what I do and hence I have no complaints and I am much sure that if I look for a different job with what I can do, won't pay me as much what I am getting now.

After reading your comment, I may say that you are satisfied the way your life turned out to be even though, it's not what you have wished for when you were younger. But for me, it's already a fulfillment. Maybe that is what we call destiny if there is such a thing, and I guess many do believe on it. I guess I can say too that you have found your perfect match because you are happy and satisfied.

There is nothing in my life now that is the same as I've envisioned it to be when I'm younger. And, even so, I still like what things turned out to be. I'm not really ecstatic, but not regretful, either. It's just that these are the things that were the results of my choices, so I stick to it. As to that ideal future match, I have stopped setting my preference, because each time I meet someone who meets that, I get disappointed somehow. So, cliche as it sounds, I will just wait for the one who will "sweep me off my feet" and feel right. It does sound fatalistic, but, I will "leave it up to fate". Surprise me!!!

Very well said glory. Yes, most of the time things don't turn out to be, like what we want it to be when we were still young and full of dreams. Sometimes we have to give up some of them and look on other angles but to our surprise the results are more rewarding than what we have envisioned before. Maybe because some of us have found their perfect partner to help them in fulfilling that dream. As you have said, you are still waiting for that perfect someone who will sweep you of your feet. I just hope it comes sooner.

Hi there! I'd still choose to do what I want to do, pursue my dreams and keep on living. And my partner should understand that. I wouldn't want to be in the way of someone else' dream so, I think it is mutual. My partner for almost 6 years now, knows that. And I know that there's just so much more he wants to achieve, and so do I. Someday, when everything else is stable, then maybe, that's when having family and being in a married life comes in. But, right now, I am contented with what I have.

Yes, there's nothing more fulfilling, if what we have dream of to be someday or our goals in life would became a reality. But most of the time in order to reached our goals we need a companion to help us to achieve that dream of ours. I think working together with our partner would be more challenging and inspiring because, both have a common goal in life and that is to have a happy and prosperous life ahead.

My eldest son is already seventeen years old so I think I can say that my partner is the perfect match for me. We have been together for such a long time and although there are times that we also have some misunderstanding, we won't let the day pass without settling it.

Having said that we found our perfect match doesn't mean, what we wished to be and to be with have been fulfilled or materialized. Two persons are different individuals and have distinct characteristics. So looking for a perfect match for us or looking for someone to pass our standard is quite hard because there is nothing perfect in this world. This would only happen if we include trust and understanding and learn to accept what we can't have. I think this is more than enough to say that we found the perfect partner.

Sometimes I get persuade by the advices of other people but still, I pray and stick on my plans in life. :) Well if my plans don't work, definitely the Lord has something better than my plans. :D

Yes, If we do stick to our plans or what we want our life to be someday most of the time it would took us longer time. And the chances or probability of it to become a reality is very little, so some lost hope in the end. But if we look at it on a different view and with perseverance it can be done but not as what we expected it to be. And that is with the help of other people especially our love ones.

i think there is no such thing as perfect match in this world. everybody has flaws and if you really wanted to achieve the goal of having a perfect "match" in this world? help each other grow and be a perfect mate for each other. no perfect in this world but we can develop one for ourselves.

Yes, there's no such thing as perfect match. Everyone of us differs from each other. So if we want to achieve what we want in life, we have to work for it and stick to our plans. We must learn to accept when to stop and be satisfied with what we achieved and make it work for us. And with the help of our partner, we can achieved what we want.
