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 woman. 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.
