How long does it take to truly know someone?

• At what point has your intimacy with your partner fully arrived?
• At what point is your experience of a coworker or a friend solid enough to really know what to expect from them?
• At what point have we created a sufficient anticipation of our family members that we could replace them with a cardboard cutout?

Hmmm . . . . 

One way to truly know someone is as the static truth of who they are, who they have always been, and who they always shall be .... a creative expression of the Universe .... an unwavering vibration of love .... forever unchanging in their essence.
 
Another way to know someone is as this infinite expression having a human experience .... always changing .... always growing .... always gaining knowledge and experience and awareness.

Either way could be considered a life-long practice.  

How long does it take to truly know someone? 
What do you think?
I think, if I'm really committed, that it will take my whole life.
