***Dumping Ground For All Things Interesting and Silly On The Interwebs***

My parents met in college in the late 40s. I met my wife at a bar through friends in 1986. @BrainVision, is there any correlation between where a couple meets and the length of the relationship?

Damn, sorry I missed this. Yes, there is a correlation, but it's complicated. The more powerful models include location/setting as a coefficient in multiple regression equations or multilevel analyses. Generally, the more the setting includes either an external expectation of success, e.g., church or an arranged marriage, or more intensive/persistent proximity, e.g., workplaces, school, etc., the longer the relationship tends to last.

Oh, and my second serious relationship was with a woman with red hair, two large dogs, and a diploma (in Southern Studies) from Ole Miss.
