I believe the word "perfection" should be changed to "pure fiction" - it's just not possible!

I was a first time bride at 44. I had never even lived with anybody. And after running my own business for many years, I knew how to be the boss - but I had no idea how to be a good partner.

I believe the word "perfection" should be changed to "pure fiction" - it's just not possible!

Imagine how great you will feel when you know your partner loves all of you, all the time. The good, the bad, and everything in between!

Just as a seed grows with the warmth of the sun, so our positive qualities grow when we put our attention on them.

We aren't born with the innate knowledge of how to "do" relationship. Even worse, we've been brainwashed by modern day society to look for and seek perfection, which leads to an ongoing state of frustration and dissatisfaction.

Acceptance and its counterpart, understanding, are crucial to achieving relationship harmony. It is sacred love, the highest form of love, and like most things worth striving for in life, it requires patience, commitment, personal responsibility, and practice.
