the difference between spouse and love

a quote suddenly flashed in my mind.
months ago when i was having lunch at amoy street, i overheard a conversation between 2 ladies around my age. let's call one "idealist" and the other "realist".
idealist was asking realist about her boyfriend who was serving army at that time. she said to realist something about marriage and to my surprise and to idealist's surprise, she actually said the person she loves the most is not her boyfriend but they will probably get married. thanks to idealist, our curiousity is fed. she probed further, "why?" and realist said, "it's like that what. you will never marry the person you love the most. no one marries the person they love the most." imagine what her boyfriend's reaction would be if he had heard it.
if i didn't remember wrongly, there was a mention about that there will be somethings about the person you love the most that makes you unable to live with the other party but somehow, you will still love the person more than anyone else. i can't imagine myself marrying someone i love less than another. then again, i might since the person i love the most might not even reciprocate.
what's your thought?
