HERE HERE !!!!! I aplaud your opinion Case !!!! Both partners SHOULD have sowed their wild oats ( as it were ) , then live togather for 6 months , see if you can put up with the farting and burping and smacking of lips , oh and go on an overnite canoe trip togather , if after 2 days of trying to work as a team , you and your prospective spouce have had fun , then well you can probley make it at least 16 years , my wife and i did ALL this and well we are still togather after 16 + years , and I don't see it ending ANY TIME soon !!!
