People always try to use sayings and phrases that sort of stand as “guidelines” for romantic relationships.

“Birds of a feather flock together,” or “opposites attract.”

In some cases the first is true, in some the latter, and in some neither.

I am currently in what I call a “magnetic relationship;” one in which opposites attract. The female in my relationship and I often have disputes, but we often settle them rather quickly. This is not to say we fight all the time; we just have had to learn acceptance, which is a great lesson.

My friend, however, is basically a replica of his female except for certain aspects. By this, I obviously mean they differ on their musical tastes.

My last example would be my own parents. They started as best friends and it developed into some “lovin’.” Nowadays, they aren’t exactly different, nor are they super similar.

My significant other and I are happy, and we are also very different from one another, and I know that the other relationships I mentioned also include happy couples. Everyone fights and has drama; it’s impossible not to.

Perfection is impossible by definition. No relationship style is “perfect;” it’s just how the two people in a relationship are and how they treat each other.
