The flip side to that, as a person currently dissolving his marriage of 10 years, is that it's a LOT harder to find a 'loyal friend for life' than it is with some other quality you prefer. It's also easy to rationalize how _easy_ it would be to love someone _forever_ when you're in the throes of new love, and just as easy to chalk up blame when that passion dies.
I agree with the sentiment, I really do, and my (soon to be ex-) wife and I are still really good friends, but not only is 'find your best friend' not _necessarily_ a magic bullet, but it's also a lot harder to ferret out than, say, 'large breasted' or 'wealthy'.
Though, it could just be my bitterness talking. :'(
