If you date someone for their potential, you will only find yourself coming up with excuses for their short comings.

Some still think marriage will help their significant other reach their potential and that magically overnight they will become the person that they need them to be. 

Date someone because their true selves gives you the confidence to be your true self. 

Marry for the reality of your love and commitment rather than the potential of love and commitment. 

Marriage doesn’t fix dysfunction, it reveals it.
