Keller emphasizes that marriage is not about finding a perfectly compatible partner but about growing and changing together. Over the years, spouses will encounter seasons where they must learn to love a person who has evolved from the one they initially married. He states, 'The journey may eventually take you into a strong, tender, joyful marriage. But it is not because you married the perfectly compatible person. That person doesn’t exist.' This perspective encourages couples to embrace change and personal growth within their marriage. | Timothy Keller | The Meaning of Marriage
