One of the things that bothers me this day and age is the ever-increasing perfectionist attitudes of many in our society. This perfectionist attitude is beginning to hurt relationships and marriages. I am concerned that as a whole we are so hung up on finding Mr. and Mrs. perfect that we fail to realize that as humans we are not perfect and always have room for improvement. Therefore I propose that in order to enhance relationships and marriages we understand the reality of imperfection.
My theory basically argues that we should view each other (talking about mates) as imperfect humans wanting to be better. I believe that when we view each other as imperfect it allows us to be more open to moving into relationships in which there are signs of wanting to grow from both the man and woman. I believe that too many people want to be in the "perfect" relationship/marriage with the "perfect" man/woman. Many statuses on facebook demonstrate this issue. What happened to accepting each other even with flaws committing to help each other grow to being a better person?
Why are we so "perfectionist" about our relationships? Why do we want the "perfect" man/woman? Why can't we just be willing to help each other grow to being a better person? I am not saying that we should just go with anyone despite how they act but I believe we should give those who are open to growing and changing a chance. We should not want to be in a relationship with someone because of a few "imperfections." Why not help them become a better person.
Let's give each other a chance as we understand the reality of imperfection!
