Actually, while I hate invoking the so-called Loki's Wager fallacy, what's perfect? I would only marry someone who is perfect for me. In fact, it would be perfect if they weren't perfect for everybody else :p It's impossible for humans to be perfect in an universal sense, and part of any relationship (Indeed, of being human) is adapting to the reasonable quirks and peculiarities of those close to us. So it would be a *requirement* that on the whole they be perfect for me, and ideally change my perception so that the rest would be perfect too.
I'm not suggesting one should have unrealistic expectations of perfect, which you all too often see in motivational memes. A word of caution, of course: When someone is universally perfect, either they're misdirecting, or your perception is faulty (This often happens in early phases of infatuation). So I guess, technically then, I would not marry someone if I felt they were universally perfect, but in reality I probably couldn't help it ;)
