True, but you can still do something that's illogical even though you recognize that it's so. That's just going against your sense.
And some day it may not even be a case of going against logic. Our understanding of the brain is very fledgling right now, but down the road you may just get hooked up to a machine and they essentially go "this is who you're compatible with, pick one".
Takes the thrill out of the hunt but I wouldn't doubt for an instant that it'd be possible to do.
Until then, we're stuck with having faith in our choice. Illogical as it may be. Thing is, it's not entirely illogical because no one picks a person off the street and goes "I'm marrying you". Primarily because it kinda requires consent but let's say that both parties consent to that. Very few would do that and expect it to work out. You're still basing your decision on past interactions, experiences, and knowledge of that person.
So it's not an entirely illogical process. You have to have faith in your relationship but it's faith grounded in fact.

No one just comes to a church or what have you and says "Ok I choose you"... well actually I'm sure SOME people do that just as I'm sure some people say "let's go to vegas and get married" after knowing the person a week lol. But people of real faith in God don't just say OK I'm going to believe in God now. they do A LOT of soul searching and what not... sort of like MOST responsible people do before they choose to marry someone.
Of course.. I say most because we all know that a lot of people just give in to impulse no matter how silly it is lol.
