As these thoughts trot along the meadow of the mind, a graceful background tune delighting the surrounding air; I pause on an instinct ... There I was, gracing the front of the 'Little House On The Prairie'...
...The contents are seemingly flawless; The irreproachable marriage, well-mannered children. Everything you want. Did I mention I was having a flashback to a television program from the 70's? Let's be realistic Endless Searchers. Modern love is anything but.
What I'm getting at here, simply put is that everyone's got a specific ideal for a relationship. Peeps are caught inspecting the grass of another, all in attempt to get the one-up. "The grass is always greener"; quite the hoax. We'd be a lot better off if we weren't so fooled by the glamour of a particular relationship ... Instead, focusing on communication, faith, feelings, hope and trust. The fate of the love, not the expense.

What if the "perfect relationship" is a myth?
Maybe we've got it wrong; Maybe the "perfect relationship" embodies equal imperfection with the man you love ... "Perfection's" quite a tricky figure. But, it's not impossible. It's a question for expectations, standards. You'd get bored from the culturally-relevant definition of "perfection", 'cause there'd be absolutely no room to grow and learn via mistakes, etc. Maybe you and your partner aren't yet married, and there's a relatively strict "children AFTER nuptials" family policy for him; and you two decide to send his mom a "World's Greatest Grandmother" mug to prove a point, or to crack a laugh at her expense - How great would that be?
You can't put a tag on the moments where you wish you could pause the clock Endless Searchers ... They're what it's all about. So, prior to desiring a night out where you can throw about a wad of Franklin's with a man who wouldn't be hurting you in the least if he were to walk out of your life, except ceasing credit for materials; Reflect ... Think about the timeless moments in bed with a man who completes you. Somebody, who an oblique thought of losing makes your heart drop, 'cause a life free of them seems like a life that's not free at all...
