In a 1996 interview, Barack Obama said this about his relationship with Michelle:
“What sustains our relationship is I’m extremely happy with her, and part of it has to do with the fact that she is at once completely familiar to me, so that I can be myself and she knows me very well and I trust her completely, but at the same time she is also a complete mystery to me in some ways. […]”
“It’s that tension between familiarity and mystery that makes for something strong, because, even as you build a life of trust and comfort and mutual support, you retain some sense of surprise or wonder about the other person.”
They met in 1989 when Michelle was working at a law firm as an advisor to a summer associate from Harvard Law; that summer associate was Barack Obama. When they went on their first date, Michelle knew that he was the one. She said they “clicked right away.” They have a beautiful love story that we all should strive for.
