Big Opening - Marriage

April 13, 2007

Today I launch Culturize. My hope is to create a portal for rich discussion on the world around us. Basically, what I think about people and stuff and what you all think about people and stuff.

I hope it will be fun!

Today's topic will be Marriage, in honor of my mom and dad's 32nd anniversary. What does it take for a marriage to last and not be completely miserable? Obviously, there are many factors that vary between couples, but what are the fundamental requirements? Here's my guess (I am not married):

1. Luck
2. Optimism
3. Committment
3. Respect
4. Responsibility
5. Affection

What do you think?
