In response to Meagan's Question

Question: Do you agree with my former high school teacher? That we subconsciously look for traits of our parents in our future spouses, or possible spouses? Basically the person you are dating at the time...

I completely agree with this, I have heard you marry your father/ mother, because we look for traits in the opposite sex that show they can help raise a family. We admire traits in our parents that show us comfort, trust, love and support, and in turn we seek these in our potential mates. My boyfriend now reminds me a lot like my dad and I think my comfort level with him is so high because of that. I also think we look for similar traits because we want our parents to like who we are dating- so they as well feel comfortable with them.

Do you think its possible to have a healthy relationship with a partner without a healthy relationship between your parents and them?
