Love & Marriage
Years ago (pre-Mike) my daughter asked "Mom, I don't understand how you can eat the same old thing for breakfast every single morning?" "The same way I could stay married to your (now former) stepfather for 13 years" I replied. With the teen-age eye roll & digusted sigh she snapped "You eating the same thing for breakfast every morning has nothing to do with how you stay married!"
"It has everything to do with it," I said. "And the sooner you figure that out, the longer you'll stay married. You find something you like and you stick with it."
I believe liking and respecting your partner is a key component to a successful relationship. Commitment is another one. When you get to be my age you realize (or you should) that not only is the grass not greener on the other side of the fence, but that for the most part, all cats look black in the dark. (Cliches! It's what's for breakfast!)
With that in mind, here's a quiz to test how likely your relationship will last. Looks like a pretty good 'un so go check it out.
And be honest.

See, there you go. It's gotta be accurate.

I looked at the 1st 6 questions and realized that WS couldn't answer at least 5 of them. That's okay, I don't do so hot either. I didn't bother looking at the rest of the questions because it was obvious that we would "flunk".
This test may work for some, but we have been married almost 20 years, and been together almost 25.

It did say it was only 90% accurate. But I'll bet you could both answer the questions relating to liking and respecting the other though....which is what really matters.
