Kinda disagree with point 1. People marry who they fall in love with and love is purely emotional. There's no rhyme or reason to it.

- yowzadave 4y agoIt says something about you that this is your perspective! > People marry who they fall in love with and love is purely emotional. These are two different assertions, both of which would require substantiation. I've known many people who married partners who they seemed not particularly to like, either out of habit, a sense of obligation, cultural pressure, poor self-image, etc. Of course, it's always easy to say "I saw the signs long ago" when a marriage goes south—but honestly, haven't you? "Love" is a vague concept which could mean many things, any number of which could be components of a successful marriage. Discerning which of these attributes were important to the partners in a marriage is one of the things that makes it interesting to get to know other couples...and can certainly tell you something about their values.
- SpeedilyDamage 4y agoTotally disagree; falling in love is 100% a choice, and a choice you have to keep making every single day thereafter. We are not slaves to our emotions; we have reason, we make decisions with our actions, we have free will. To say otherwise is to literally deny the concept of humanity itself.
- xen2xen1 4y agoPoint #1 can be like the servers point, you can tell a lot about how they treat their spouse. Also, my wife tends to have a dominant personality (somewhat), and I tend to have a more submissive / little brother personality. I guarantee you meet us and how my wife acts says things about me. That is much less true over time though.
