There are love stories and life stories.
And there are lots of people you can love, but they're not necessarily the people with whom you can create a project of life.
In French, they call it un projet de vie.
It's a very beautiful concept.
And before you get married, it's that.
Can I imagine a life with you?
That's going to involve a lot of different things, moves and changes and losses and additions in our families and stuff like that.
Can I see all of that with you?
That's where it's beyond love.
You can love someone that is not necessarily going to be the best partner for you or you for them.

This is the life story, be it marriage or commitment of any sort.
