Marriage and Finding the Right Partner

 

On Marriage:

"In the West, because we are very immature, we think that the purpose of a marriage is the happiness of the people who are involved in the marriage, the husband and the wife. And that's just not the purpose of marriage at all. The purpose is the long term facilitation of their psychological and spiritual development and the establishment of an environment that's beneficial to children. That's a responsible way of thinking." - Jordan B. Peterson

On finding the right partner:

"How do I find the right person for me? I can't imagine hardly a more narcissistic statement than that. It is like, how do I transform myself into the ideally desirable partner? That's a way better question. And then, on the marriage front, it's like well I want to be happy. I want to have the person that's right for me. It is not about you. It's about your partner." -Jordan B. Peterson
