“The only thing I can tell you – and I will repeat it again and again – is that there is not one person who can give us everything. Nobody, no matter how phenomenal they are, will be able to satisfy all your needs. It’s a set up for frustration, for disappointment, and for disillusionment. So, when you think about “the one,” think the person with whom you can imagine building a life with. Writing a story with. And that story will have a lot of hiccups. But something about the shared values, the shared interests, the attraction, the animation that you feel in their presence, the eagerness that you have together is going to begin to…the one way I say it is, to make a life together. And making a life together is writing a story together, basically. And when you write a story, you edit, you change, you see things that don’t fit. It’s never a perfect story. Never. Every couple has issues, the only question is which are the issues you want to deal with?”
