I think it's important to manage your expectations. Accept the fact that there is no perfect person somewhere out there who will provide absolutely everything you need without fail and never do or say something that disappoints you or causes you inconvenience or pain. If you go through life willing to accept only perfection, you're going to be constantly disappointed and you won't be able to appreciate all the things that are good.
A willingness on the part of both people to negotiate and compromise is also very important. In any healthy relationship, the people will both have some things they aren't willing to tolerate, and these will be communicated unambiguously. But they will understand that being with someone else requires flexibility and lots of give and take.
