Qualities of a Lasting Relationship - Ladies, Mr. Perfection is Out There!

In the pursuit of love and the feeling of being complete we search for that perfect person. That perfect person is never described as a friend. Have you noticed that? Some of us right lists of the qualities we want in that person. In these lists, Mr. Perfection looks like he stepped out of an Abercrombie and Fitch ad, has a college degree and a job to utilize it. We dream of an amazing engagement ring and of course the wedding band to match. The beautiful wedding with the virginal white dress. The flowers to bloom happiness and shower colors of joy. Your groom is a provider and family man. But is this enough? As little girls, we grow up with this picture of perfection in our minds and mold our hearts around it, only to be confused by the inexplicable factors that make these desires incomplete.

You can have all these qualities and desires, but you need to fill in the gaps. What your fantasties leave out is the part where he is your friend. He adores you and every perfection and imperfection you have. Don't settle for anything less. Make sure he sees your thoughts and notices the nurturing presence that you hold in your eyes. When you look into his eyes, you see adoration and longing to have you in his life forever.
