The trick, if you can manage it, is to find someone who shares (or at least accepts) your passions and loves who you are.
Once children are involved if your passion is, for example, base jumping off tops of buildings, you will probably be asked to dial that back a notch, no matter how supportive and loving your wife is. You might be asked to not work weekends. Maybe golfing every weekend makes it hard for her to manage the kids on her own and she asks you to go earlier in the day or maybe not every weekend. Whatever. If people want to do whatever we want without any pushback ever, don't get married. If you do choose marriage, spouse gets a vote or at least gets to bend your ear over it. And frankly that cuts both way no matter what the shrew who wrote the original article thinks.
