Maybe the divorce rate would go down significantly if we understood more about ourselves and our patterns of behavior in relationships before falling head over heels in love and then finding out -- too late, sometimes -- that it was never really love at all.
I had an Aunt whose philosophy was to not be serious about someone until you knew two things: He would visit you in the hospital -no question. You knew his grandmother`s middle name. Even better if she told you personally.
