First, with couples in long relationships who they are now tells you little about who they were when they met and why they are still together.
Second, you have no idea what their relationship is like. You can't tell at a dinner party if they value the things you value in their partner or are bothered by same things. Nobody gets a perfect specimen matching their desires and needs including my wife.
