You know the saying that we are not the same person at the end of our journey then we were at the beginning of it. The trick is...to understand everyone is growing and learning and no one is a finished product but if you find someone who can learn and grow you can make it work. Some refuse to...some won't until they realise they lose out on the best thing that ever happened to them...some are so invested in being the happiest one in the relationship they will hold out until they lose...respect mainly...even if they manage to trap someone into their selfish void. I say this..if someone is kind and can reason with logic..not just bias...and has the ability to communicate..then you have a chance...and you can forgive missteps...which will happen. Otherwise if they do not have these traits......enjoy the first flush of love or lust as it will go downhill from there.
