perfect match or equal match?

most people are looking for a perfect match, in business or love, in spite of the fact that we all know that perfection doesn’t really exist.  To start with we are not perfect as individuals, yet some of us expect to find ‘perfect’ in a partner?  And some of us have given up not willing to settle for imperfect?  Try the polls below & let me know your position on this question.

The word perfect is from the Latin perfectus meaning “completed”. It implies that it would be all over if we found a perfect match anyway.

“The mind is no match with the heart in persuasion; constitutionality is no match with compassion.” Everett M.Dirks

It seems from the above that the majority of those polled had not found their perfect match.  I suggest if we take the word perfect out of the phrase, then we can be empowered to find a match that relates to our top values.  I base matches on 6 criteria:

1. Romance & sexual attraction
2. Communication
3. Success
4. Challenges
5. Fate or destiny (how out of control we are in the relationship)
6. Commitment or longevity

“I love her too, but our neuroses just don’t match.” Arthur Miller

Once we understand which values we hold highest then it is easier to gage how ‘perfect’ for us as an individual a partner will be, when we are together.  If we chase a mass media ideal of perfection, then we are likely to be disappointed if we don’t try alternate universes.  Here on planet Earth we don’t deal in perfection.

“Love matches are made by people who are content, for a month of honey, to condemn themselves to a life of vinegar.” Marguerite Gardiner Blessington

If we are looking for real intimacy & love, then maybe searching for an equal match with someone who scores high on our high values could provide an optimum Earth option?  Then there is enough energy to keep two interested & stimulated & loving without too much competition.

“When a match has equal partners then I fear not.” Aeschylus
