Probably more than you are getting. We had our share of rough spots so I doubt that spending time here would have smoothed those over.
Over time we got to learn each other's quirks and idiosynchracies. A bit more and we got used to them. A bit more and we started looking at them as distinguishing features instead of shortcommings. All that took about 10 years.
Once we reached that last stage we finally accepted each other as we are and really started to enjoy our relationship.
