A Perfect Relationship

When I was younger I dreamed of finding my prince charming and living happily ever after. I thank Disney for that. I thought a perfect relationship was one where there were no fights, no disagreements, no days when you cry yourself to sleep, and no days you went without seeing or at least hearing from your love. After going through life and seeing relationships fail, relationships work, and relationships struggle I have learned that a perfect relationship is one where you disagree to better understand one another, you fight when something pisses you off, and you go days, weeks, or months without hearing from your love, often not by choice. But the most important thing I have learned is through all of that you always love each other, every morning when you wake up and every night before you go to sleep. You think about your other half almost ever second of every day, and things everywhere remind you of them. A perfect relationship is one where you accept and love one another for who each other is and who you each will become. Many times people think a fight is bad and is only going to lead to more fighting and more disagreeing. In some cases those people may be right; however, one fight leads to more because you are finally comfortable to talk about what bothers you and you care enough to mention it to your other half. Disney messed up the idea of a perfect relationship. It is not finding someone enchanting, falling in love at first sight, always smiling and laughing and never arguing. Simply, a perfect relationship is when two people fight for one another and the love they share through every aspect of life. It is falling in love over and over again with the same person every time. It is being happy even when you are completely pissed off. Finally, it is knowing you can't and don't want to be without the one you share your life with. That is what makes a relationship perfect.
