I knew I would marry my wife two weeks into the dating game.
After being with her for ten years, I now realize that relationships exist for as long as the participants want them to. My wife and I give each other what we need without expectations of reimbursement.
I also realize that I'm the marrying type and could be married to someone not so "perfect" (mostly because I do my part, everyday). It turns out to be a little more "business-like" than what's in the brochure, but life's like that.
