Hey Sydney, tell her this!! Maybe...

Of the two million couples who get married each year in the US, nearly half end up divorced. It takes a long time for many of us to realize that the perfect partner-someone who shares our likes and dislikes, and who couldn't agree more with our political opinions, and religious convictions, and sexual preferences; and who would never in a million years want to sleep with the window open when we want the window closed-doesn't exist...

As Leo Tolstoy observed, "What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility."
