I read a book about 20 years ago about birth order and how it effects us, and I'm curious to poll you all to see if its accurate.
Essentially it said that first borns are best suited to marry last borns or the middle child. It went on to say that the first born/first born marriages don't usually work out.
Interestingly it also said that if there is more than 5 years between a middle child and a last born, the last born takes on the characteristics of a first born.
I was in a first born/first born marriage, it didn't work out, I wonder how many people on this board feel into that category.
Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to poll, but can't. Anyone know?
Poll should be if you are divorced, what birth order category did you fall into with your spouse:
firstborn/firstborn
middleborn/firstborn
lastborn/firstborn
lastborn w/5+yrs between middlechild/firstborn
