make more sense

Hi teachers,
I read this sentence in bold type and cannot understand it exactly, so could you possibly help me understand it?:

. "Only you and nobody else. You’re the perfect half to complete my circle." Yet now we did not have "congenial kinship"! He should have thought a little bit harder to provide a reason; say, he could not accept my days-long business trips. A myriad of reasons would have made more sense than the one he gave.

Thank you in advance

There are many, many other reasons that would have made more sense... Myriad = a very large, undetermined, number

Hi,
Many reasons would have been better than the reason that he gave me.

In other words, the reason he gave me was not a good reason.

Thank you Feebs and Clive but do you think " myriad of reasons would have made more sense than the one he gave." is natural to native speakers?

Hi,
It dosn;t sound at all odd.
The word 'myriad' and the overall sentence form suggest a reasonably educated speaker.
