Most recent research indicates just about 9,000 romantic couples each year take out marriage licenses, then fail to use them.
It's commonly believed a man picks out a wife who reminds him of his mother while a woman picks out a husband who reminds her of her father. But that's not right. Recent research indicates both the man and the woman are most influenced in their selection of matrimonial mates by their mothers. If a woman regards her mother as stern, she's likely to go for a stern husband. If she thinks of her mother as gentle, she looks for a gentle husband. The father of the bride or groom just doesn't have all that much to do with it, poor fellow.
Caesar was 54, Cleopatra 21 when they were romancing...
Marital quarrels hit their peak in July. If you've kept notes on your spouse's temper-or yours-they'll confirm it. July is also tops for riots, criminal violence and hasty legislation. Oppressive heat and consequent loss of temper control are the causes.
Harvard University studies show that, when domestic differences arise, it's usually the spouse who does the most talking who gets his (or her) way.
Not sure how true this all is but interesting topics.
There is NO useless love info, There is ONLY one RULE "If Mamma isn't Happy, NOBODYS Happy."
Guess I should change that to: "If the dominant person isn't happy, NOBODYs happy."
That is some interesting info CG. Looks like we'll have to be on our best behavior in about a month. lol I wasn't really influenced by my mom or my dad I don't think. I was more influenced by my brother-in-law. I thought, "I want a guy like that!" I got lucky. No gushy stuff I promise.

Very interesting subject CG. I did'nt even know that Ceasar and Cleopatra knew eachother?
I've always been under the impression that, even if they didn't know it themselves, that females were always lookin for daddy - but of course, I could be wrong about that.

Was he aware that you felt that way?
Yes he does. Mike has so many amazing qualities and I already knew what I DIDN'T want. He showed me what I did want. Not just him either. Mike and my sister together showed me the kind of relationship that is such a treasure. I just never dreamed that the man I finally found would not only have all the qualities I wanted, but so many more I never dared to dream about.
