Perfect marriage 

I say that nothing is truly perfect.  No one is perfect, so how can a marriage be perfect.  I agree with angielou "mutual respect, love, friendship and affection."  And of course there will be fights and disagreement, but these can be a healthy thing.  And I believe that you should never go to bed mad.  Be sure to say "I love you" often and with meaning.  You never know when it will be the last time.

I think some times people are running away from a situation and think that marriage is the answer.  They are expected it to fix what is wrong, and that is never a good way to start.  I believe in marriage and that the vows taken are for a lifetime.  I hope to find that 'magic' again.  I know it is out there and I am keeping my heart and my eyes open.

I don't know what a perfect marriage is.....my own parents were married 60 years. I'd call that successful, but not perfect!

In my mind, the perfect marriage would be full of mutual respect, love, friendship and affection.  Yes, there would be disagreements (even down and dirty fights!), but in the end, those 4 elements would remain unchanged.

Maybe I'm wrong.....maybe I'm just looking for the fairy tale.....

It must be because of the divorce process.  You have to admit, it's a stupid process. 

In my divorce, I realized I didn't know my ex at all.  I knew all along I didn't have a perfect marriage but who wants a perfect marriage, it's a bit boring.
