>I am convinced that the reason many relationships, from business to marriages, get in trouble is by avoiding the inevitable conflict or managing it poorly. However, it's easier to avoid a lot of "inevitable conflict" by not getting into a relationship with someone whose worldview is too different from your own. Any marriage is going to have some conflict, but picking your partner wisely can minimize that. People I think tend not to think about this when they're young because they haven't been through a failed marriage, and society feeds them a lot of fairy-tale bullshit about how "love conquers all".
