[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny you mention this, because I just heard on the radio the other day that the biggest peril of getting married later in life is that you lose that naivete and no one is ever quite right for you.  I find this to be true myself.[/quote]

I think it's the opposite - when you are older, you are mature enough to know that there is no such thing as Mr. Perfect; when you are young and naive, you are more prone to overlook flaws.[/quote]

NP, but I think there's something to what the poster before you said. Yes, when you're younger you're naive and idealistic, but you also are less likely to be set in your ways, and therefore more adaptable to someone who is different than you. So when you meet someone who hates to do dishes at night and will always leave them until the next day, it's less likely to be a huge issue for you because you haven't been living on your own without roommates long enough to be really invested in the idea that dishes must be done right after dinner. If you've lived on your own without roommates for 5+ years, you're more likely to have decided that the dishes just need to be done every night because that's how you do it, so you end up doing them when your spouse doesn't and then become resentful because you don't want to wait until they deal with them in the morning.
