A successful marriage is built on similarities rather than differences. My wife and I agree on almost everything, and she understood early on that my career was going to require us to move a bunch. Luckily she is a teacher and can find work almost anywhere. You have to work this stuff out early so that it doesn't become an issue later on. In my case, the legal union (and the fact that I couldn't get out of it easily financially) is what kept me in it during a rough stretch around 5 years ago. If we had just been bf/gf, we might not have lasted out the bad time. Luckily we really learned a lot about living together and getting along during that time, and we are happier than ever now.
