Article for Bethlehem Matrimonial - May 2015
Have you seen people admiring a couple and making this cliche statement, "What a perfect couple?! Made for each other!" I have
always wondered what does it really mean. Is there really something called a
'perfect couple'? Isn't it a dream that we always see in some of the less
realistic movies? Here's what I figured out.
We see a lot of couples around us daily. We start
seeing them right from our family, among friends, at work, outside work and all
around us. Two individuals who decide to come together to be a couple and
thereby form a family may have many things in common. It is equally important
to notice that the uncommon ones quite often override the common elements in
their nature. How is it still that some of these couples get certified as
perfect?
The best thing to realize when you look at one of
these perfect couples is that these two human beings are created by God just
like each one of us. They were born in two different families, grew up in their
own distinct backgrounds, have their individual views about everything around
them and finally were joined as part of a Divine plan. These people were not
born immaculate and continue to be imperfect. They make mistakes, they get
restless, they fight and in the middle of all these they lead their lives,
together.
What differentiates these regular-looking couple from
the rest of the world is that they figure out a huge fact about themselves. They
know they are incomplete individually, but together they make a Complete
Couple! They know each one has got areas they are weak at, all the while
realizing the strengths of their partners. This insight is one of the most
powerful gifts in the life of any couple! It is no secret that most of the
couples could discover this, soon after they begin their life together. The key
here is how they make use of what they have learned about their better halves.
Remember learning about metamorphosis back in school? This
is the magical process by which an insignificant pupa transforms itself to a
beautiful butterfly! This colorful creation of God does not even realize what
happens to it over the period of time. All what it does is wait patiently and
let the nature take its course. Any impatience will lead to a disaster resulting
in a deformed creation. Every 'perfect couple' goes through such a
transformation as well.
The moment you decide to make the positives of each
other work for your benefit, you transform yourself to a magical couple. Identify
the areas where each one is weak and strong. If you are strong in one area
ensure that you own it up thereby complimenting the weakness of the other. You
could be strong in handling finance whereas your partner may have a unique
acumen for planning out things. You may have an amazing eye for detail but your
partner may be totally an artistic person.
Whatever unique characters you both are, it is
important that you extract the power of your combination to the benefit of the
family. Always remember to never let the other one down citing a weakness.
Reassure your better half during moments of doubt that you are on a journey
together. Tell your partner that you are there to share the load and that's how
you fulfill your wedding vows.
May the good God help you realize the power within
you to transform yourself as a perfect couple! May the world around now start
looking at you and exclaim, "Look at them! There goes a Complete
Couple!"
God bless you!
