I think there's a strong element of luck in the whole business, especially when you consider the way we (usually) select our partners.
Thomas More's Dad, Judge John More, is recorded as saying that getting married is like putting your hand into a bag with eleven stinging snakes and one eel. At best, you have a slippery eel by the tail.
And in those days, women were generally a lot more tractable than they are now.
The only advice I can offer is to suggest you find someone who is a friend as well as a lover. Not that that's easy.
