Are you Mr Right?Apply within



It was a radio programme for matured singles to call in to hook up with potential partners. A good number of the callers had "unrealistic" expectations. One of the guys wanted his lady  to be about 5ft 8 inches,fair,educated,working probably as a fashion designer,lawyer or banker .In addition,the lady must be very cute  and between a particular age range.In other words,any lady that didn't match up to these standards should not bother applying.Other guys who called in followed suit. Female callers also called in and gave their specifications-the man should be tall,dark and handsome. He must work in an Oil and gas industry,the bank or telecommunications company.

 Surprising,all the callers wanted God-fearing partners. Everyone wants some one who practices his/her faith conscientiously. Well,as much as I don't buy into the idea of blind dates,it is not a bad venture. It favours those who have learnt to persevere and accommodate their partners inspire of their flaws and differences. In other cases,people who have high standards or unrealistic expectations have continued to waste their time because of they didn't really get want they wanted. They have forgotten that every marital relationship is a union of two imperfect people working towards perfection. When people raise the bar the put a lid over themselves, which makes them inaccessible and before you know time has gone.The individual gets older and might result to a marriage out of desperation.

The story is told of a man that married a woman who according to world standards was unpretty and unrefined.The couple went for their honeymoon.On their return,people were unsure if the woman the man returned with was the same as the one he went with on honeymoon.The difference was clear.The woman had blossomed and was radiating with beauty. The man had taken time to nurture his bride and cultivate her for his delight.Every one involved in a relationship is a work in progress so should time in working on themselves particularly and others rather than setting standards.I would round off with these words copied from a Facebook post" Stop looking for Mr Right(Miss Right) if you find Mr Left(Miss Left),hold him(her) and drag him (her) to the right!*winks*

Is there really a Mr Right or Miss Right?
Or shouldn't we open our minds for someone that is right for us...not just in the 'short' run but in the long run also?
Truth is there is no ideal Mr or Miss Right.Everyone is a work in progress. Like you rightly said,we all need to be open-minded and long term. Thanks
