“Marriage is a choice you make every day,” Michelle told Gayle and the audience. “You don’t do it because it’s easy. You do it because you believe in it. You believe in the other person.”
“And ladies and gentlemen,” she continued, “that’s why it’s so important to marry somebody that you respect. It’s important to marry somebody who is your equal, and to marry and be with somebody who wants you to win as much as you want them to win.”
Mrs Obama also compared picking a partner as to picking players on a team.
“My husband is my teammate. If we are going to win this game together, he has to be strong and he has to be OK with me being strong. I do not want a weak player on my team, nor does he.”
She also warned on what you should avoid when dating.
“Be cautious of the man or woman who wants just the easy person. The person who’s not going to force them to grow, who’s not going to expect them to change, who’s not going to hold them accountable. You wouldn’t pick someone off the bench who is going to show up weak. You want to pick somebody who is going to carry you through. Those are the things that get you over the hard times.”
