Always and Forever??????

Was just wondering...
Do you ever think about the fact that as people tell you this experience is really a gift - that this is time to become your best person - doesn't quite match being told that part of being a part of a couple - a really healthy couple - is the comfort in knowing that you don't have to be your best but that you work to be your best with your closest friend who supports and accepts you for better or worse?
Hopefully this is clear...
