Barbara De Angelis' Sixty-second Compatibility Test
- Would I want to have a child with this person?
- Would I want to have a child just like this person?
- Do I want to become more like this person?
- Would I be willing to spend the rest of my life with this person if he/she never changed from the way he/she is now?
You have to become the kind of intimate partner who commands quality, inspires respect, and settles for nothing less than an active and abiding love. -Philip McGraw
