    I heard about this research a while back, and found this article that summarizes it very well. Happens to be on a stepfamily website, but the advice is for anyone in a relationship.

    Maybe it helps someone here. In any case, an interesting read on human interaction.

    I wish I knew this stuff before.

    Best!

    Those look like simple common sense. If one practices virtues such as politeness and courtesy, and maybe, just maybe, even has a sense of selflessness rather than selfishness, those six things rarely (if ever) happen.

    I would rewrite that article as "six signs to not ever marry someone in the first place".

    I can't believe how much simple stuff one would think everybody should know is pawned off as "research".

    I agree with Tony.
    This reminds me of an article in one of those celeb magazines called "Secrets of a Successful Marriage" because of the one year anniversary of Sandra Bullock's marriage. If they really want to know secrets of a successful marriage they should ask those couples who have been together for 50 years. And on the other hand, they shouldn't be secrets in the first place.

    True, but sometimes these behaviours don't surface till some time later.

    I like the article (and research) because when you're trying to go forward with someone and it just isn't going well this clarifies just what is going on.

    Also, I think everyone gets in a bad conversation at some point in their marriage. Part two, where they discuss "repair attempts" is very well armed. When things get heated it's tough to see how to calm things down, or generally find a way out. There are some good tips there.
