Many women compare their mates to Romeo, the character in Shakespere’s “Romeo and Juliet”. Some women think they can find the perfect man. After reading “Romeo and Juliet”, some women thought Romeo represented this perfect man. These creative thinkers compared their mates to Romeo and if their mates did not qualify by the standards set forth by Romeo, he was not considered a good mate. In reality, Romeo was just a good mate for Juliet.
The character Romeo was an example of a man during Elizabethan Times, he is not supposed to be a model for ALL men. Women have often made the statement, “He was not my Romeo”. By saying this, those women may have given up on a good man just because he did not behave in the same manner as Romeo. Things were very different in Romeo’s time and all women DO NOT behave the same way Juliet did. While these women are comparing their mates to Romeo, he could justifiably say, “she is not my Juliet’.
Every relationship will not be a “match made in heaven”. The end goal should be to find the “perfect complement to your imperfections” and this person most likely will not be like Romeo. Everyone is different and even though Romeo was very charming, he was only meant to be with Juliet. Be the partner your mate needs you to be, STAND by YOUR man.
