Looking at bios and discussions of Mark Zuckerberg's new wife, I'm reminded of Steve Job's wife. And George Harrison's wife, etc...

What do you think ? I find that the best relationships are yin and yang. Mrs. cbelt3 definitely centers me at times, and vice versa...

We operate on a basic rule. Only one of us is allowed to go a little crazy at a time.

Maybe not "every"... but it's certainly a statistically significant trend!

I see success before marriage in your examples… so your data are not actionable.

I think the magic is that the family is well balanced. That is, family support covers someone's weaknesses and doesn't drag down someone's strengths.

I think my wife would be offended if someone called her 'centered' - she's as crazy and me, just in different enough ways to make life fun and functional!

2 cents:

Being "centered and loving", along with physical attractiveness and maybe intelligence, are the MOST highly valued attributes in a spouse. The more money you have, the more of those attributes you can "buy".

Chicken/egg.

Quoted for emphasis. Just found a good, lovingly weird guy and he accepts my weirdness too.
