THE PERFECT WIFE
I once met a man who
said he was looking for the perfect wife. He told me that he needed to find
someone who was beautiful, kind, loving, and very spiritually oriented. And yes,
he had found such a women. But it did not work out. He said she was so spiritual
that she could not easily relate to the practical things in the material world.
Then he found someone
who was perfect. She was beautiful, kind, loving, intelligent, organized and
practical in material affairs. She was just what he was looking for. But he said
that also did not work out. Why? Because she was so practical that she really
did not need him so much, and ended up being a bit of a nag, always telling him
what he should do. So he still looked for the perfect woman.
Then he found the
perfect wife. She was beautiful, kind, loving, intelligent, organized, practical
in material affairs, as well as spiritually inclined. A perfect balance. No one
could be better. She would make just what he was looking for--the perfect wife.
So I asked him if
they got married. No. Why not? Because she was also looking for the perfect
husband.
