‘The Perfect Couple’ or more like ‘we have to act perfectly' couple. We may adore them believing their 'perfect relationship' but on what basis? There are invisible standards to fulfil and to earn the title. The following are my observed standards:
1.The Insta couple
We shouldn't always believe everything we see on social media. Sometimes it can feel overwhelmed with images of glamorous lives. People post photos of their amazing holidays, showing their love through reels. These posts are generally not the reflection of their whole lives. Many are envious of ‘ideal’ lifestyles and relationships that don't even exist. However, it doesn't matter what their lives look like your life has its own highs and lows. Be kind to yourself.
2.The Arranged couple
Now, I don't want to get in conflict by telling all arranged relationships are toxic because it's completely false. Finding the right person to love is something to take very seriously. Relationships don't just work themselves out; you have to work on them. “There is always struggle in a relationship you just have to find who you want to struggle with”. And when you think you have found someone worth sharing the rest of your life with, you should do your homework before settling down which generally takes time. Some may get lucky to have found their 'one in an arranged way but not all and when you make decisions on your terms even if regret comes in the way you'll have no one else to blame but yourself.
3.The Good looks
“Wow! They both are so good looking must be really lucky to have found each other”. “How sad! he's handicapped how can she ever be happy with him?” But when in reality it's us who misinterpret thinking what can go wrong when everything is perfect from outside? All that glitters is not gold.
My definition of a perfect couple is who can understand each other with no words said; Who are compatible with each other even with flaws of their own; Who can compromise for each other when necessary and most important Who respects each others opinion suggestions and advice. I believe in destiny but not in luck, if you're are fated to find someone then the universe will do its work but you have to work, sacrifice, compromise and give all in to retain that relationship.
