I think the larger issue is people go into relationships thinking they're going to change someone.

Very rarely do people actually change, in my experience. Like you imply, that quickly creates disillusioned people who aren’t likely to have a successful marriage.

The worst part is that people learn this too late. Even if they’re told before the marriage, they generally don’t believe it.
