Cupid’s Advice:

2. Ups and downs: A spouse is there to celebrate your successes and lend support during hard times.  In short, he or she is dependable.

3.  ‘Til death: Although it can be scary to think about spending the rest of your life with just one person, it usually gets better with age (like fine wine, as the cliche goes).
