Would you choose to be with a lifelong partner whom you deeply loved, but whose personality made daily life, within more or less tolerable limits, difficult in various ways?
Or, would you choose to be with a lifelong partner for whom you did not have especially deep feelings, but whom you liked and could get along with without much difficulty, and who made daily life relatively easy?
I would imagine that the first scenario actually fosters a deeper love for your partner than the first scenario. Deep love for someone who made life difficult for you is misplaced.
Not to criticize the comment itself, but I'm just guessing that "second" should be in there somewhere.
