You one-upped me there, for sure.Well, my wife also had a big dog, and red hair, but she also had a diploma from FSU.

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.Well, my wife also had a big dog, and red hair, but she also had a diploma from FSU.
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.
Yep. She almost convinced me to go to Oxford instead of Tallahassee. Her brother ended up being my roommate in Los Angeles.
Intriguing plot twist. Is she now your sister in law?
Ah the halcyon days of our youth, and the road not taken.
I’m sure she had her way with you, an innocent young lad from Alabama.
😎😜
She is not. I am not sure what she is up to these days; I believe she is a stay-at-home mother still living in Alabama.
My sister-in-law has black hair, no dog, and a few degrees from Cal State and the UC.

She certainly did, as the older and, as she would have told you with a great degree of pride, much more worldly of the two of us. Yet, I looked down that road as far as I could and <sigh> chose the other. And that has made all the difference…
Sexual satisfaction is a mixed, weak predictor of relationship persistence. In my couples therapy work, I describe it as the barometer of the relationship, as it tends to be an early, sensitive indicator of communication and intimacy problems. Succinctly, bad sex can definitely ruin a relationship, but good sex can not save one.
If 40% of marriages end in divorce, what percentage of marriages are successful?
Is it possible to answer that question?
