“You will spend more time with this person than anyone else for the rest of your life, and there is nothing more important than always wanting to hear what she has to say about things,” he explained.

“Does she make you laugh? And I don’t know if you want kids, but if you do, do you think she will be a good mom?” he continued.

Being able to say yes to all three of those questions is, evidently, all it takes.
“Life is long,” Obama told Pfeiffer. “These are the things that really matter over the long term.”
After musing over the questions for a moment, Pfeiffer replied that his partner was “incredibly interesting, funnier than I am and will be a phenomenal mom.”
That’s all it took to convince Obama that his pal was making a good choice.

“Sounds like she’s the one,” Obama said. “Lucky you.”

After all, this good advice comes from a man who’s been with his bride for more than 25 years and clearly has no regrets.
