A relationship is not fighting, bickering, plans, schemes, take take take, selfish, mean, fake.

A good relationship should be one where other people can learn something from whether adult or child.


A perfect relationship is like Michelangelo's David, perfect in every single way.

IDK... I really believe 'perfection' does not exist, even in relationships.

Perfection is in the eyes of the lover. So it has nothing with reality.

I think this would be a different answer for each person.

Ideally, my relationship would be close friends. Two people who share and do almost everything together. Honesty is a major must have. Obviously, what I enjoy would be different from what you enjoy, so my idea of a perfect relationship would probably vary based on our personal taste and habits.

LOL. That was the guy that murdered his best friend so he could marry his wife, as well as likely had a homosexual lover on the side.

Gay guys usually keep in shape like that

That is a beautiful sculpture, but I prefer paintings over sculptures myself.

I have been known to paint from time to time when I have nothing better to do with my time. Two kids and being single kind of keeps me busy most days, but Sunday morning I can usually sit on my back porch and paint a little when I don't have the kiddos. Painting with them just turns into a mess, which is fun, but more of a job then it is relaxation.

The ideal relationship is one that is fulfilling, makes you happy, and is mutually beneficial to all parties involved in the direct relationship.
