Don't settle until you find a person that you can love inside and out. If you truly love a person for their personality and views. If you love them for their particular charm and unique wit. If you love them because they are the only person you have ever met on this earth who has the same favorite song as you. If you like them because they are the only person who laughs at your jokes. If you like them because they love the same TV shows as you, the same music as you. If you enjoy their company so much that you would never, ever want to say a cross thing to them. If you love them because no one on this earth has a smile that sparkles like theirs. If you like them because they alone understand your quirks and eccentricities.
If all of the above and more is true, then maybe you won't want to dump the person when their face gets mangled in a carwreck. Maybe your eye won't wonder when the person gains 50 lbs, or even 200 lbs. If you really love who you are with then they can have stretch marks on their stretch marks and you still will be crazy about them.
I believe it was the comedy team of Stiller and Meara who commented on the success of over 50 years of marriage something like: "What's our secret? Marry someone you can stand."
