OK, so my 33 year old little sister just asked me a fully loaded question. I started to tell her what I really thought, but then decided that's not what she wanted to hear... just wanted me to understand and commiserate with her. I was a good big sister and did what she wanted.
The thing is its so frustrating sometimes. She is currently on a mission to find her Mr. Perfect. The problem is he does not exist. NO MAN can live up to her idea of a perfect mate. She has this picture in her head of what a perfect husband will look like. He will be smart, funny, passionate about art and life in general. He will have a bigger than life personality that will make her feel both important and special to be married to. She's not looking for a perfect mate, she's looking for some one to save her from her current life.... and therein lies the problem.
Even if she could find this ideal man, there's no way he alone can make her happy. SHE's the only one who can do that. He will bring joy and can even help her to find happiness... but she's the one who has to do it.
There is no Mr. Perfect out there... only a Mr. Just Right for ME... and most of the time, he's not the guy you were expecting him to be.
Maybe, if the time is right and my little sis is in the right mood, I might actually have the courage to tell her that!
