Well, my wife also had a big dog, and red hair, but she also had a diploma from FSU.

You one-upped me there, for sure.

Her diploma does have some advantages though. When we take her car somewhere, I always tell her to hang it from the rear view mirror so people can see it and be jealous. Then I park in handicapped spots with no problems.

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.

LOL. You cannot make that stuff up.

Yep. She almost convinced me to go to Oxford instead of Tallahassee. Her brother ended up being my roommate in Los Angeles.
