A perfect relationship

Does a perfect relationship equate to never fighting?? If people fight does that mean that they don’t like each other?

I’ve noticed that fights tend to leave me frustrated and angry. At that point I cannot understand why a person does or says things. Why my friends who generally seem sensible behave in that inexplicable manner at that point I feel that I never want to talk to the person again. They leave me feeling extremely annoyed. Most people probably feel the same way. Hence is it any wonder that people tend to avoid fights?

Most times we dismiss our feelings or ignore them. We believe that addressing misunderstandings may end up weakening the relationship. Contrary to that I have found that in most relationships fights tend to strengthen the relationship. With time the fights get resolved. We may still not understand their reasons and we may continue to strongly disagree with them on the matter but we notice that after a while we tend to remember all the good times and we cannot stay long without talking to them. Moreover these fights instill in us a certain trust and belief that whatever be the situation we can count on friends to be true to what they feel.

So after some contemplation I have reached at my definition of a perfect relationship. It is a state of relationship where I am true to my feelings with a person, where we accept each other as we are. It is a state where I am confident that though I may disagree, fight, feel frustrated and annoyed at the end of the day I can count on the person to be there for me.
