> Couples who navigate growth together often develop stronger, more resilient partnerships.
Nowhere in that wisdom did the word “first” appear.
If at “first” you don’t succeed, keep looking for that partner who, by character, and suitability to you, who will “ navigate growth together”.

I feel like there is a stay-with-your-first crowd that has a lot of wisdom to share, but logically needs to recognize that commitment to an unworkable situation isn’t really what they are trying to promote.
Props to those that find that person, who will co-invest, can be co-patient, co-flexible, co-loyal, co-appreciative, co-vision the first time.
But those things are just as great, and important to find, regardless of the ordinal.
