The Best Person to Marry: Why Emotional Maturity and Shared Values Outlast Status and Wealth

The partner you choose should actively support your individual ambitions and personal growth. The best marriages are those that encourage both people to become the best versions of themselves. This means they should be your greatest cheerleader for career moves, new hobbies, educational pursuits, and personal goals. A good spouse won't feel threatened by your success or independence but will instead view your achievements as a shared victory, understanding that a strong individual makes for a strong marriage.
