Propping someone on a metaphorical throne is not going to do your ego (or theirs) any good.
Notice that I said successful and not perfect when discussing relationships.
That is because there is no way anyone can promise something that ambiguous.

Its too big a claim, and its a pointless thing to aim for.
Seeking perfection will only wear you out its simply not possible.
Therefore, the focus is on what is depicted as healthy in regards to a partnership.
Three of these (my personal favorites) are outlined below.
What it does is set up impossible expectations, which, when not met, lead to constant disappointment.
Its the whole concept of seeking perfection again.
Remember, having high standards is one thing, but having high expectations is another.
So lose the pedestal and instead, keep it fair.
Things are much simpler that way.
Share your secrets
Again, no one expects their partner to be flawless.
If you both respect and trust one another, then talking should be easy.
Its all a part of being honest.
Keep your identity
Being in a relationship does not mean becoming a Siamese twin.
As much as you are a couple, you are not joined at the hip.
You are still your own person, and you do not need anyone else to validate your identity.
Sure, when you are married or living together, there are certain things that may need discussing first.
Youre not in a relationship with a private investigator.
If what you have is strong, then doing your own thing wont matter.
In essence, its the fear that ultimately destroys relationships.
We often think that by holding on tightly enough, then what we have wont slip away.
But it doesnt work like that.
And if theres enough trust between you both (and honesty, respect and loyalty etc.)
then this freedom should be easy to express.
Life may be short, but its the longest thing youve got, so live it well.
