The Real Soulmate Is the One You Married.

Alex Cooper of Call Her Daddy recently told women they shouldn't feel too guilty about leaving their marriages, because they can always do better. A lot of people are upset about it. I think she's actually (partially) right, and what she said shows exactly why marriage is so beautiful.

Could your spouse find someone richer, taller, or better-looking? Probably. But in a letter to his son, J.R.R. Tolkien explains why that realization doesn't threaten a marriage. It can become the source of its security. You may be able to do better by leaving, but you can never do the best.

In this video:

• What Alex Cooper got right (and what she missed)
• Tolkien's famous letter on the "real soulmate"
• Why "compatible" literally means "to suffer with"
• Why lasting marriages don't depend on a perfect fit
