Looking for a life partner should ideally be looking for a friend and someone with whome to become intimate with for life. Searching for a spouse to argue with or boss around is definitely not normal nor the right intention behind marriage and establishing a family.
Bishop Youssef emphasizes in this book that intimacy in marriage and among the family mirrors a lot of positive and interrelated outcomes as companionship, productivity, support, warmth of feelings, protection, sharing, and challenge.
If friendship in marriage is initated and preserved, all these attributes will be practiced and preserved, and oneness in marriage will be secured.
