"The person who is best suited to us is not the person who shares our every taste (he or she doesn’t exist), but the person who can negotiate differences in taste intelligently — the person who is good at disagreement. Rather than some notional idea of perfect complementarity, it is the capacity to tolerate differences with generosity that is the true marker of the “not overly wrong” person. Compatibility is an achievement of love; it must not be its precondition."

— From Alain de Botton on NYT Sunday Review

And that, Sheldon, that’s how you will marry the wrong person.


And we know for a fact that Amy does not tolerate the differences well. She always moans and tries to pull 'girlfriend-rank' over the other things in his life. Sheldon having to see that disapproving grouchy face for the rest of his days, is not my idea of a good ending to Big Bang.
