Interpretation
The line frames marital happiness less as a technique to be mastered than as a matter of companionship: the “right person” is identified by the ease and pleasure of shared time. Its emphasis on wanting to be together “all the time” highlights friendship, mutual curiosity, and everyday compatibility as the foundation of a durable partnership. Read this way, the quote pushes back against purely romantic or duty-based models of marriage, suggesting that sustained affection is proven in ordinary hours rather than grand gestures. It also implies an ethic of choice—happiness follows from selecting a partner whose presence feels like enrichment, not obligation.
