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]

  • Oh, for crying out loud...

    There are SO many couples in my family and network of friends, who've been married anywhere from 20 to 50 years. I doubt any of them have ever actually asked each other the '99 questions.'

    My parents have been married 49 years. They married young, are are still very much in love (and they've ripped each other new ones now and then). However, they did something that many couples these days can't comprehend: they made the commitment to work through any and all crap together, as it arose.

    99 questions? They saved those for us kids when we missed curfew.
