secret of success
by Professor Charles Hill of Whittier College in Los Angeles. He analysed the relationships of 231 couples from a Boston college over a period of 25 years, and found five basic, almost simplistic, rules for achieving marital success. They are:

– Don't pick up people from bars
– Don't date anyone much prettier or uglier than yourself
– Choose someone your own age
– Try to go for someone of roughly the same intelligence
– Have sex often with this one partner

Professor Hill claims that those who followed these rules appeared most likely to have high self-esteem and a good and stable relationship, long-term.

Wise words but what happens if your a taxi driver

I think opposite do attarct but things will change over the years, and more importantly once your Wife is in the UK. Will she want to go out lots is she in to sporting or engertic actvities and are you?

Like others mention will you have seperate friends? Some of my wifes friends in the UK are only 18/19, while im 32 luckily we get on and her best mate is in my age group, she also likes to go out clubbing so if i don't want to go as i have seen that and been there, i know she with some one sensible. Also some of my mates still want to go out so i dont look to outta place if we are in some trendy place up town.
But if thats not really your cup of tea it could be a huge strain on the relationship.

All this depends on the two indivuals but i knew my Wife liked to go out clubbing in Manila and was part of what we have in common ie musical tastes etc.
