“Love at first sight” sounds magical.
But it’s not the gold standard.
Only 11% feel instant certainty.
For most people, connection grows slowly — and that’s completely normal.
Here’s what matters:
Fireworks don’t predict a happy marriage.
Compatibility does.
How you operate as a team does.
So whether it’s sparks or a slow burn, don’t skip the work.
Ask the essential questions.
Build the foundation.
Finding love is one thing.
Building it is everything.
