Is There Such Thing As A Perfect Marriage?

No, I don't think there is. Perfect marriages only exist in Hollywood. There is such a thing as perfect love though. If you love someone, marriages can't become totally imperfect.

I think Nobody, and No Marriage, Is Perfect. Because it's the imperfections that make or break a relationship in the long run. “People can be in love madly and deeply and go through so much and still end up with each other and that’s what you hope for. But no one should get married if they think it’s going to be a fairy tale.”

Most of us have an almost perfect, passionate relationship when we first meet someone, because it's all new, bright and shiny and the world is our oyster. When people get married the first few years can still be fairly passionate (although never perfect .. no such beast) and when children come into the picture passion can certainly fade to a low murmur of loving words and busy schedules. As one ages, people go through hormonal changes, some people become ill, and some medications lower the libido. Diabetes and heart disease can cause low libido as well.
To me, there is no such thing as "the perfect marriage" no matter how well two people get along. There will be the odd argument or, problems in the sexual area of that marriage. If you've got that there isn't much else in this world you can't beat and keep your head above water.
Thanks everyone for sharing your ideas Related to this subject -
It depends on the definition of "perfect" we use. if a marriage lasts through the good and bad and the people in it pull together to face everything then maybe that is perfection.
Perfection may be not skipping along hand in hand singing love songs and cooing, it may be weathering the loss of a child and still needing each other, it may be working hard to reach a dream together, surviving a nightmare, or just peacefully coexisiting for a lifetime even when work or hobbies or children keep you from doing everything together.
Perfection in marriage is different for each couple and what we may not see as perfect, because a couple disagrees on more than an outsider thinks is good, may be in their eyes perfect and exactly what they want or need.
The perfect marriage, to me, is a marriage that works for both partners most of the time and knowing that they'll get past those few speed bumps and still face life together because that's what they both want to do.
My parents are not perfect and as parents they were far from it but I think if we asked them they'd say their marriage is because over sixty five years into it, they give and take and make it work because they both want to and they both try to. -
No ... plus people change, things and circumstances change and you must keep working on yourself and your partnership. No perfection here. After a while it gets comfortable ... or not. It also depends upon what you expect it would be like to begin with. Even if you adore each other, there is always something that will piss you off. Count on it.
Best ingredient for a marriage is a sense of humor.
