I was with you until this, but I dunno qt, this assumes that staying happily married is a matter of finding someone 'compatible'.

I don't believe in compatible.


I think that's a good point. You can live together for a long time and still not accept or know everything about each other. And people can change on you too.

Taking that further, is it even realistic to hold these high standards that relationships should last a lifetime for them to be 'great relationships'? What if the best relationship is one where you are very happy and experience and learn a lot about each other, and then it ends for some reason after a period of time. Maybe we should just accept these relationships for what they are and be happy that they even happened at all.
