Is there such word as perfect marriage? I think there is none…as there is no such thing as perfect relationship. No matter what kind of relationship you have. Surely, there will always be fights, misunderstanding and differences. But with love for each other, respect and faith in God, married couples can work out with their differences and make a successful marriage.
Many couples fall in love, marry, start their own family and assume that everything else will work out automatically. Little that they know, that a successful marriage does not come spontaneously or by chance.
Plato used a ladder to illustrate growth of relationship by married couples. The two sides of t he ladder represent the man and the woman. Every steps of the ladder represent the things that keep them together.
Couples get married for different reasons. Some because of love while others for convenience. Some because they want to start their own family while others just to escape from a bad home situation. Some because they are ready to commit themselves while others just to give a baby a name. The reason why we get married will have a great impact on the way we will see our married life and the way we will live our life.
In cases like couples no longer solve their problems on their own, couples should not feel reluctant to seek counsel from their families, the people they trust or even professional counselors. But they should be aware that there is no instant cure for a troubled marriage. Even the best counselor can only offer support and compassion. The will of every couple to solve their problems and work out their differences would be the one to settle things and problems between them.
