A School of Life video arguing that everyone marries someone who is somewhat wrong for them, and that this is unavoidable. It is a four-minute version of an essay by Alain de Botton.
HN points to it as the short cliff's-notes version of the essay and as a charming introduction to The School of Life.

Alain de Botton also published this in video form, seven years ago [0]. If you want the cliff's notes, his School of Life channel has a shorter version [1]. [0] link 22 minutes [1] ▶ this video 4 minutess
2017 Followup link EDIT: I thought his voice sounded familiar: > The School of Life was founded in 2008 by Alain De Botton... link also 2014 ▶ this video
It's the long form of this: ▶ this video The author founded The School of Life - which I think is wonderful.
