No - you missed the landmine. You can't make someone else change. They will only change if they want to, from the inside. It is far better to find someone you like just the way they are. There will always be minor irritations, but it's a lot easier on everyone if the big things line up. The bottom line is - If you both want to make it work, it will work. It takes 2 to make it work, but only 1 to make it not work.
