Perfect Relationships

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one."

The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please".

"Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest."

The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband, because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife.

Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

Whether we make marriage a bed of thorns or a bed of roses, is ultimately, in our own hands.. we can create heaven or earth or carry hell on our heels, wherever we go.

Better be careful and choosy in building and nurturing relationships, than to be sorry later throughout life.

Essential elements for a married life

Following are some of the most essential elements for leading a successful married life J

· Communication (stop talking and it is over).

· Trust (single most important factor – you should be able to trust your life to the other person, without the slightest hesitation)

· Mutual Interests (and needs)

· Passion (without this, forget about it!)

· Making the other person feel special

· Spending as much time together as possible

· Romantic getaways

· Vacations (getting on a plane, flying far, far away, and going somewhere for an adventure)

· Flowers and surprises

· Respect

· Fun - lots of fun stuff

· Unpredictability (as in spontaneously doing special/fun/wacky things)

· The "little things" that you never seem to have enough time to do together

Cheers
