In considering the probability or chances that you are going to marry a particular person you have a personal relationship with, what are some indications that will help you make a proper assessment of your chances? Please consider cases where the chance is at least fifty percent: examples might be: - you are currently (seriously) dating, OR have (seriously) dated in the past but had a clean break up and are still good friends... - you have discussed marriage, and both indicated you have desired it, at least at one point - the parents of the person treat you as an important person and like you perhaps: - you felt something special immediately the first time you met Please consider as wide a range of indications as possible, (feel free to draw from psychology, sociology, philosophy, and other fields.) an example from psychology may be: - the person depends on your loyalty partially for his happiness, that you are an "important person" in his/her life, and he/she has indicated this - that you have been intimate, and have good sexual chemistry - that you have a deep emotional connection/share similar values - the chances are higher if you are both mature, as this decreases the chances of "growing apart" - that you know some secrets/things about the person no one else knows etc etc
