I guess we try to be perfect for the one we love but is there a perfect relationship? What steps can we take to achieve this? We always fight, and we always make peace afterwards. We fight about everything but we love each other. Are we far from a perfect relationship?

hi arreolabryan, no, there is no perfect relationship. only God is perfect, we human beings is not perfect and will never be perfect. so there is no point for one to try to be perfect or find the ways to achieve this kind of perfection. yes, you may say that you know there are relationship that is so good and so pure. you may know some loving couple who never quarrel or fight with each other in their whole life. you may hear that some husbands who love and protect their wife in every way that they could. and you may also see that some wives who truly understand and care for their husband in every thing that they do. there is no secret to have this kind of relationship and there is no special methods to achieve this. it is just because of the matching characters between the husband and wife towards each other. without doing anything extra, these couple could easily get along with each other by just being themselves. but do you think they are actually perfect? no. do you think this kind of relationship is perfect? no. why? because there will be no spiritual growth in this kind of relationship as God could not work Himself in them. you both may be fighting in every single thing, even big or small and it is good that you both make peace afterwards. and as i have mentioned, this is just because of your characters are not matching towards each other. but i don't mean that you should find the one who match with your character. actually, there are reasons for God to put both of you together and you will see much growth later from this type of relationship. in whatever you do, put your trust in God. since both of you love each other, do not easily let go of each other just because of the characters mismatch. don't try to look for zodiac, horoscope, or fortune teller to tell you whom actually you are matched to. don't strive for a perfect relationship because there is none and so that you will not be disappointed with your current relationship. all the best to your relationship, arreolabryan. always remember that God has arranged something better for you in a way that you could never understand. and when you could start to understand, it means that you have grown to be the person whom God wants you to be, and you will realise that she is the just the right one for you after all.

Isn't about steps to achieve the perfect relantionship. I think any girl has her charm and this makes every relation different. Sincerely, I don't want a perfect relationship because it could appears monotony and it isn't very funny. An arguing comes with a sweet reconciliation.

Your right a perfect relationship is boring. Some argument here and there will spice up a relationship.

In one relationship, there must be some disagreement and quarrel. It is good cause it will make us understand each other. Later on when our relationship has come to one age, we will notice that words is not needed to tell something and only smile on the face will do the instruction. One relationship without disagreement or quarrel seems don't grow and actually they kept it inside their heart. This is not good cause when it explode, the situation cannot be helped. Better to voice it out and make understanding on each problem. But make sure no physical contact or swearing.

Yeah a certain line in fighting should be addressed. We swear sometimes but no physical contacts.

No you are not. You both fight for your rights, for what is important to you and you are also able to make it up afterwards. People are different so it's normal to have different opinions and to say what is on your mind, to fight if necessary. It's abnormal always to agree, to give in, to give up on your own dreams, goals. Sooner or later this will break the one who is always making the compromises or worser.. gives up. Fighting is a way to stand for who and what you are. If you can't find with the one you trust the most, if that person rejects you because you say what is on your mind, then it's not love. You need a safe area to fight and to find out that if you do so that person still loves and respects you for who you are.

Hi friend, We all wish to live our life with a perfect relationship. We love our beloved person a lot and wish to express our real love to them in various ways. Trust and understanding is important in every relationship. Perfect relationship must be an ideal one to all others. If you want to have a perfect relationship, you must be a perfect one and always be open to your partner and never try to hide anything to them as well as don't think about cheating and betraying them even in your imagination. Quarrels and misunderstanding is common in every relationship, but this kind of silly quarrels never spoil a good relationship as well as don't spoil the perfectness. In fact this kind of quarrels will make our relationship more strong with compromising. We must adjust with our beloved persons and forget about their silly mistakes and forgive for them. It is really hard to live a life without quarrels, so don't think the quarrels will spoil a perfect relationship. It is a part of good relationship. With this kind of quarrels, we come to know about the misunderstandings and remove it from our relationship to make it more strong. True love and affection never have any end and this kind of misunderstanding and silly fights never spoil it. Sincere love always win over this kind of barriers and our affection will remain forever without any damages. In short a perfect relationship includes silly fights, quarrels and clashes however our real love and affection win over all this barriers and remain forever. We will keep our relationship forever with the true affection while stays forever in a perfect relationship.

So, don't think your beloved persons are not perfect for you due to this kind of silly quarrels and EGO clashes. The real love and affection remain forever and it may increase with this kind of silly things if you still calm and tolerate your beloved ones activities. There is nothing wrong in bearing with our some one specials cute activities. So be calm and keep patience to keep your relationship for a long time. Adjustment and compromise will help you to lead a perfect relationship forever.

Perfection doesn't exist but we aim to it. In a relationship it is desirable to reign peace and agreement. It is not good if always there explodes a fight or a violent discussion, at least not for me. I can't support to fight with my husband, because I feel bad emotionally afterwards. It happens sometimes, of course, but we try not to arrive to violent verbal discussions or so. I don't believe love is sweeter after a fight. To have a perfect relationship, more or less, both of them must have interests in common to share.

Yeah perfect is not achievable, but I believe there is a piece of perfection in our mind.

I think there is a perfect relationship if both of the people involved have discipline and most of all fear of God. If someone else not fear of God, and does what they like. The relationship will ruin at once...

It really depends on what you're fighting about. If it's over petty stuff then it'll only destroy the relationship. I always think before I open my mouth. Does what I'm going to say hurt my husband? If it does, then I will just shut up. And there's no such thing as perfect. Humans are flawed by their very nature so I don't think we should expect perfection in any relationship. We should strive towards that end but that shouldn't cause a relationship to break down.

I believe a perfect relationship do not exist at all. I know all of us strive to perfection in everything we do. In a relationship, we experience trials and hardships for us to prove if that relationship will workout, develop, continue or last. Just like you, the relationship I have with my boyfriend isn't perfect. We argue in different things but in the end of the day, we settle things out. A relationship without fight is not relationship at all. We must go through those things.

Achieving a perfect relationship depends upon how we define "perfect relationship". In a relationship we tend to mix a perfect to an ideal one. For me the relationship will become perfect if both have a genuine love. Having a perfect relationship doesn't mean having a the absence of argument. Sometimes we have to argue in order to agree. Misunderstanding happens to have an understanding.

There is no perfect relationship for me. Yeah, like you do, we always do fights and arguments with my boyfriend. We do not agree with each others ideas and plans. We are always contradicting. But we are still here and we are not separated. I do not know, despite those arguments, still, we have that feeling of feeling empty with out each other. I think that's love. Accepting ones imperfection for perfection itself.

No fight in a relationship is basically impossible. Love is not so easy, everyone has his own personality. Happiness is not so easy, we are all fascinated about it. You must know the reasons for fighting and it's not one's fault. Please give it a serious consideration. It is that the best way to make your relationship to move on is "understanding". Fight not more than 24 hours is a scret.

Fighting is healthy in a relationship, as long as it doesn't turn into physical or verbal abuse. No relationship is perfect... you will always have quarry's or fights, just as long as it doesn't turn into a relationship where you're fighting every week, thats just not healthy.. You both need to figure out what you are fighting about the most and try to make a resolution to those problems. Communication is the key to a successful relationship.. ever heard that quote before?/

To me, there is no perfect relationship or one that seem to be made from heaven. Both parties always has a part to play in order to get life moving on. There will always be differences but it is how we react. Are we tolerant enough, patient enough to understand each other. It is never easy but the victory is when we look back over the years and thank God for the strength in a relationship.

If we dream of a perfect relationship, we will be frustrated in life because in reality, there is no perfect one. It's just two individuals loving each other that such love cover up the multitude of imperfections. True love will be the foundation of every relationship that is built to last. There will be disagreements on a lot of areas and things in life, yet those who truly exercise true love will find a way to make their relationship work.

Nothing is perfect in this world. Everything has it's own flaws. And specially relationships. Because in a relationships there are two different people that are bound to share what they have. Even couples that are together for 60 years has their own story of heartaches and time tested problems. There are couples that got separated but after realizing that they still need each other they are re-united. Nobody's perfect after all. It's just a matter of holding on for the love that you have for your partner that even if you didn't understand you still accept him/her with all your heart. I think there is no such thing as steps on how to make relationship perfect but to make a relationship happy and lasting you have a choice. Fight is always one of the ingredient in A relationship. You both fight because you both are born and raise differently so you both have different point of views so it's just normal. Take time to analyze everything first and if it's your fault try to say sorry and try to talk everything and sort out. And of course make her known always how much you love her. And make her assure that no one will take her place in your heart. ^_^

Anyone who says they're in a perfect relationship is full of it. There's no such thing as a perfect relationship. We fight and make up. It's human. No one person can be happy all the time. Neither can a couple. There is something where you can agree to disagree. There is room to find some kind of compromise and resolution to anything. It can be something petty like fighting over what to watch on t.v., to something severe as cheating. If the relationship is amicable, peaceful and loving with a few rough patches, then it's a steady relationship. When it comes to physical, verbal, emotional abuse where you just put the other person down, call them horrible names or worse, then it's no where near a perfect relationship. I hate fighting with my bf. He hates it, too! I don't know anyone that has a 'perfect' relationship.

in my opinion having a perfect relationship is far from reality... no one is perfect everybody has a flaws.. what is important for a relationship to work is trust and commitment to your partner.. and also it is sometimes nice to have a petty fight in your relationship because it adds to the spice of your relationship..

There is no perfect relationship but you can make it to an almost perfect one. What i did to mine is to have a COMPLEAT (pleated) one. First and the most important in a relationship above love is ACCEPTANCE. If you a accept that person whoever and whatever that person is would make your relationship work smoothly, peacefully, lovingly and harmoniously.
