Singles going steady
To avoid marrying a jerk, singles educators say you should stay out of bed on the first date and cross-examine your partner. Critics say their advice is hokum.
By Sarah Elizabeth Richards [2006-03-07]

  • Another Way

    Two people who are thinking of making their relationship permanent but wonder about their ultimate compatibility could do far worse than taking an extended journey together, one in which rigors and things going wrong must be expected.

    How each of you, and you as a couple, interact and solve your problems will tell you a very great deal about each other and your relationship.

    Such journeys together early in our relationship, to interesting places, in which regular eating places, stops to sleep, and shortages of money, and other problems were inevitable, did a great deal to persuade both of us that marriage was possible. In any case, you are living life. Both of you.

    Last summer we celebrated our 25th anniversary, and 31 years of our relationship.
