defrogSpeaking of marriage, here’s a scientific way to calculate if a marriage is working out – via a psychologist circa 1939.
Sexist as it looks, apparently George Crane – the guy who came up with this – actually was deemed an expert on marriage and a champion matchmaker all the way up through the 1950s, and actually broke ground coming up with this survey. The same technique is still used by matchmakers today, though of course both people get rated, and the criteria is more like “squeezes toothpaste from the top of the tube” and such.
Anyway, it’s interesting how far we’ve come. Unless yr a copyrighter for a slacks company, of course. Or Neil Cavuto.
Rate my wife, please,
This is dF
