You’re in a good marriage if… There are ways to know if yours is going okay. We called psychologist John Gottman—the marriage counselor who claims he can predict the success or failure of a marriage with 94 percent accuracy—and asked him to reveal to us some of the most telling features of good and bad marriages. 1. You don’t take it personally when she is in a bad mood. 2. You don’t take for granted the thoughtful things your partner does—replacing your toothbrush or asking how the Cubs are doing when she could give a crap about sports. 3. When you fight, neither one blames the other, and each takes responsibility. (Note: If you act like this, you were created in a lab by Dr. Phil and the woman who wrote The Secret.) 4. The division of household responsibilities feels fair (regardless of the truth). 5. You can talk to each other about what turns you on. 6. You don’t feel like you’re being compared to other people. 7. You still have big, openended conversations about the future—“Are we happy at our jobs?”—just like you did when you were falling in love. glamour/weddings/2012/06/35-truths-about-marriage-from-a-guys-point-of-view?mbid=synd_yshine#slide=41
