Correlations.
Smiling as a Predictor of a Successful Marriage? Although we all know by now that correlation/=causation, and I found this suggestion, "people who smile when a photographer tells them to are more likely to have obedient personalities, which could make marriage easier," pretty amusing, this is still an interesting piece to think about.
The comments give it a bashing, and everyone should look at it with a healthy sense of skepticism, but...is marital destiny really found in subtle clues we unconsciously make everyday? Can our high school yearbook photos predict whether or not we will get divorced? I should dig mine up next time I'm home.
