Way too much of that these days. Thanks for sharing your website - very helpful. Derek,

Enjoyed your comments and you are right on the target. My research showed over 20 areas where you can obtain hard facts showing if you can fit with your partner. I spent over 30 years researching this topic and want to spread the information as far as possible. My parents were unable to advise me but I can now advise my son with real hard facts to make his choice of a wife a real bonus. (She is a lovely person) See my blog on- www.belovewise.org Hi Gail.

I know I didn't. Actually, we do learn about relationships from our experiences with them, but that is the slow route - it would be so much easier if someone would just teach us. That said, I value all the experiences I have had, even the difficult ones, because they all contributed to where I am today. Sometimes hard is more enriching than easy.

The school systems are responsible for many of the problems in society. Children seldom have a good example of a kind, caring relationship based on integrity and intelligent emotion from parents, current society or media. If schools would teach relationship with the self and relationships with other individuals based on intelligent emotion as a mandatory course the improvements in society would be drastic. Very good point Peter. Peter I agree with you 100%. The school systems are responsible for many of the problems in society.

It seems they manage to always miss the things which really matter in life. Unfortunately our schools don’t bother to teach anything along the lines of relationships.

Successful relationships happen in all kinds of mysterious ways. I am sure that you are correct - some happy couples never considered these points, although somehow they probably realized they were on the same page in important areas. The post came from my own personal experience. I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to have a happy relationship until a few years ago - now I'm with a wonderful partner. I had to be fairly diligent about making a good decision so my old habits wouldn't kick in. Thanks so much for your comment, Cristina. Successful relationships happen in all kinds of mysterious ways.
