Has anyone ever married the man or woman "of their dreams" How did it turn out?

i never had a "man of my dreams" description for a guy! I just wanted to be happy and know that he was giving his all like I am. Perfect? Nothing and no one is perfect. I married the person of my reality. I could not have asked for a better man. We started out friends before we dated. After 10 years of being together we finally got married. Why so long people may ask .. well we both had to grow up and get the playing "games" with each other out of the way. No more retaliation for dumb stuff. Communication, trust, loyalty, commitment, respect, and understanding all fall under true love. Everyone has their own definition of happiness. After 2 kids, 12 years this November (dating) and 2 years of marriage in August 2012, I can say I AM HAPPY!

I can say that I have met that person.

It's not easy wading through the many temptations that present, but you have to know and understand what you are looking for, as well as understand how to interpret what is before you. You also have to hope that that person is also looking for you..lol Nothing about any of that is easy.

I think sometimes people miss out on their "ideal relationship" because they spend too much time trying to make chicken soup with chicken poop. What I mean by that is, any and every one isn't right for you and that doesn't make them bad, just you two aren't meant to be. So don't try to force something that don't fit. When you meet the right person, its not a struggle to make it work. Sadly too, even this is not an absolute.

My husband is the man of my dreams. He has everything on my list of dream husband traits. I wanted an Asian. I love black hair and brown eyes, my age not much taller than me, accent, bilingual, engineer, there is more on my list and he meets all of them.

The marriage is excellent. We love each other very much.

There is no such thing as a perfect marriage because everyone has disagreements. Our good times outweigh our bad. I would say good times 96% and tough times 4%.

I wouldn't consider "perfect" to mean never considering ending it. Perfect means no flaws.

Like I said, everyone has their disagreements.

I really view the perfect person in a totally different light, I think the perfect person is totally reflective of ourselves. It is our ability to handle situations and to communicate needs and desires, as well as our ability to learn to overcome conflict and to really know what it means to be committed to someone until death you do part, not a bad financial experience, not an affair, etc.

I will agree that it is difficult to find someone who is prepared to love you no matter what and is prepared to work thru and things out when they arise, the obvious thing is that you both have the same long term goal, and that is to love each other unconditionally and to communicate no matter what and you end goal is to be together no matter what. Walking out is not an option.

Probably because it's more socially acceptable for women than for men to be attracted to/sexually active with those of the same sex. The term lesbian came about long before the word gay referred to homosexuality. The word lesbian is derived from Les bos (which is a single word - but Yahoo wants to censor it), a Greek island located in the East Aegean Sea where the ancient Greek lyric poet Sappho lived and ran a school for girls in the 6th century BC. Many of her poems are about her passion for her students. Sappho's literary association with love between females has led to the term lesbian having its modern meaning, as well as its rarer synonym Sapphism.

If you consider someone perfect, you are setting them up for failure. My husband is the man of my dreams because he makes me want to look past his flaws and spend my life with him anyway.

Turned into a nightmare.
